CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 No, they are not acceptable, there is no 'r'. This is daft. Engerlish can't even speak their own language. Sort it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Or 'laff' and 'antie' if you're Northern. Birmingham is the central point where all the amalgamations of English meet, level out and reach their correct pronunciation/dialect.

Popular Post 8pints Posted December 3, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2013 Pronunciation is always an interesting one for me because it's something I've been ridiculed for by friends, foes, colleagues and strangers for all my life. I was born in Walsall but moved when I was three months old (And my Dad says I was conceived in Birmingham anyway so it's all good) to Birmingham (I didn't move on my own and truth be told didn't have much say in the matter). I've lived in Birmingham from that point on to this very day and I believe I have quite a strong Birmingham accent although hardly anyone I meet can ever place my accent when they try haha. My Mom is from Donegal Ireland and my Dad is from Manchester Jamaica (Could be worse, could be ST Andrews) If I was asked to choose one I'd say Mom instead of Mum but I call my own Mother 'Mammy' because that is what she calls her Mammy (And also because I am a big baby and Al Jolson fan) Actually, even more babyish than that I call my Father 'Dada' I say 'oven' not 'uven. Apparently I pronounce 'tokens' weirdly which makes it sound closer to 'toucans' I say 'brudda' instead of brother. There are some more as well. So I guess my pronounciation and word choices are a mixture of being brought up in Birmingham England whilst being influenced by an Irish lady and a Jamaican man. Also, being taught Patois and Gaelic by those two individuals and their (My) families have added to that possibly But at the end of the day... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2oEmPP5dTM 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted December 3, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 3, 2013 You all talk like fackin West Am fans don't you. It's all 'why aye' with you, isn't it? Nope I'm from the Midlands. You 'ar' speakers and West 'Aaaam fans are from the South. So my argument is slightly less floored than your retort Flawed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted December 3, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 3, 2013 Airport/plane etiquette (or lack thereof). I did a return trip to Edinburgh yesterday and encountered: * on calling passengers needing extra time to board, this appears to be the signal for everyone to join the queue * despite there being a 1 bag limit on carry-on, most people appear to think that three is the minimum acceptable pieces of luggage required (and that's before they've been shopping) and then they complain bitterly at the lack of space in overhead lockers * the obligatory fight for armrests * even though we all know it's a bit of a nonsense rule, several people around me flagrantly texting and emailing throughout the flight but then hiding the phone every time a member of cabin crew walks past * the chorus of seat belts being unclicked the second the plane hits the Tarmac * the rush for people to get up and block the aisles as soon as we've stopped at the gate When did the world lose its manners and consideration? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
