In Saddleworth (it makes me laugh it does) they all try to mask an accent. You probably don't talk like a propper Yonner... LOL

I've an East lancs accent, being from Rammy... mix that in with having lived here for years...and I talk like I've been racing the greyhounds on't track... LOL

covers easily though, elecution lessons at drama training as a child, so I can be accentless, just chose not to be, cause it's like a badge of pride.

Cheers Foxy-i just spat over my screen reading Woolly backs!

Why on earth do they call you that???

lol-i thought you had been typing with your tongue with words like that Honesty!

Woolly back, a term used for miners and dockers in days gone by, as carrying stuff in great big sacks hurts cause coal digs in the skin, don't you know, and well, dockers carrying..well, what ever they carry.. It became commonplace to see these workers with a sheepskin on, to protect their backs from stuff digging in whilst they performed menial labour..etc..

woolly backs...

I hope you have cleaned the screen

They call us that cos they think that people who live in the Hills are piggin sheep thats why - hence the woolly backs Cheeky blighters they are

I live in Saddleworth but I haven't got a posh accent - far from it I have lived here 43 years now nearly

i dont have a accent at all

That's how Mancs talk, awful isn't it??

Makes me laugh when you say "where'd youhen?" and they say "New'on 'eeeF, la"

that means "Newton Heath" Not a great place... or "anco(ut)'s" that's Ancoats..

i love the manc accent i think it well cool
