Reply To: Are you from Yorkshire?

I’ve been told I don’t have an accent until at least three pints of 4.2% abv beer, and then I converse in true North Lincs.

I find the whole accents thing fascinating, even now in the 21st century when movement of the population is commonplace.

Middlesbrough is in the ceremonial county of Yorkshire but a smoggie from the Boro sounds nowt like t’old lad fromt Leyds.

And as for the Darlo accent: it’s got to be one of the worst in England.
