A quick disclaimer: We understand that British accents are a bit like breaking ice - you make one crack and it splinters into a dozen more cracks. Likewise, it’s almost impossible to find a single “Cornwall” accent, for example, because while the accents in that region may sound similar to outsiders, upon closer inspection you’ll find that accents differ village to village, street to street, and probably house to house. So when we play a clip of, say, a Manchester accent, we’re not saying it’s the only accent from Manchester, just that it’s one of the many accents you’ll encounter in that part of the UK.
Which British accents should we include in episode 4? Share your favorite or local UK accent with us in the comments! Make sure to list the accent's name and link to a video of someone speaking with that accent 😄

If you're travelling all over the UK and haven't done so yet then I recommend a trip to Bath and the Isle of Wight.
Lancashire
East end mean is more similar to maine just not as harsh and scrans a term for food and do black country accent it's an exaggerated brummie
The old stoke on Trent accent quite hard to understand, like a place called burslem, the old potters accent 👍
To pull someone up on something is pretty British wide I reckon.
Good to know! Did I interpret the meaning correctly?
@@WanderingRavens You did yeah, it's to not let them get away with something. To point it out and hold them accountable.
@@kruandrew8930 Great! Thank you for confirming that!
Yeah, it is definitely used across the nation. I’m from the North East of England and I’ve heard it quite a lot.
I think it translates into American as "calling someone out".
Everywhere in the UK can use the term "Pulled me up on it" or "I'm going to pull up ..... for ...." . Bosses at work often talk about pulling their workers up on things like talking too much/being late/not working hard enough etc.
Good to know! Thank you for answering that for us! :D
@@WanderingRavens Being 'pulled up' is the same as being 'reined in' - as in 'pulling up' a horse.
@@mariuscheek I'd argue that being reined in relates more to be restrained, whereas being pulled up is more about being admonished :)
Try the Rotherham accent. If you want to speak with a Rotherham accent then imagine you have a mouth full of chocolate.
@@polyphiloprogenitive4614 That's how it usually is yeah.
scran just means food
Thank you!!
@@WanderingRavens Scran can also mean to eat in a quick way. It can be in a messy way or the food could cleanly enter the mouth like taking a shot of a spirit.
@@jwec9867 mostly used in the army.
@@Trebor74 It is my experience that it isn't most often used in the army. Instead it is used throughout England as a whole but it is used more often in the north of England.
Scran is food. Its used quite a lot in the northern England
I find it really interesting watching Americans analyse UK accents. I'd love if you did the Nottingham accent for your next one the actress Vicky McClure is from here.
Thank you for the recommendation!
Good idea, me duck!
I love Vicky. I'm a massive fan of line of duty
I was gonna say Nottingham too
It's a very unique one
Yes I would love that. Thx.
The Mancunian (Manchester) accent varies from town to town within the city, compare the one you had as an example to Liam Gallagher, or Jason Manford. All Mancunian but all different. Love my City!!
Thank you for the recommendations! We'll look those up!
Definitely agree! I'm Stockport and our accent is definitely not standard Mancunian! Also different generations pronounce some words very differently! Grace is very good at accents! X
@@WanderingRavens I remember from many years ago the comedian Mike Harding, who grew up in Crumpsall, I think, talk about how the accent was different from one end of the road to the other. He may have been referring to one of the longer roads, but still...
@@AnOldGreyDog i am from salford, when I started high school in stretford they all asked me where I am from because my accent was so different
@@0321kitkat Oh, I can believe that...
Pull me up on it would be used pretty much across the UK.
Did I interpret the meaning right?
@@WanderingRavens you got it pretty much right, a more widespread equivalent is "call me out with/on it"
@@welshdragon99 Thank you!
@@WanderingRavens Yes you got it spot on.
Init
most people in england would say the phrase 'pull me up on it', its not just east end
Good to know! Did I interpret the meaning correctly?
@@WanderingRavens yes, it basically means that someone brought up something about what you did or said
That's not a phrase I really hear. I hear it a lot in American vlogs
Eric: "We love all things British and being back in the UK!"
"You're new to the Falls Road aren't you?"
Falls balls
Ahahaha
Grace on the Armagh accent:
"I don't know what to make of this"
Me replying in my Armagh accent:
"Insults...that's what we usually make with it"
Re Sean’s Edinburgh accent - a lot of the slang is used in Geordie, we would also say ‘Shan’ (unfair), ‘Radge’ (crazy) ‘Scran’ (food), ‘Chore’ (steal), ‘Pure’ (used to emphasise as in very or big) ‘Bam’ (someone who is disgusting). Geordie like a lot of Scots dialects are descended from the style of old English that was spoken in the old Kingdom of Northumbria, which covered a lot of Northern England and areas of Southern Scotland, including Edinburgh.
Using Ken Stott or Irvine Welsh would have provided more accurate examples of the Edinburgh accent. This Shaun guy, according to his own vids, is more at home in London and New York so not the best source.
no you where Scots and given as a gift to Edward the first as a wedding gift by his brother in law Alexzander the III your mair us than them man lol
Yeah and we’re very close to the Scottish border too
I’m Scottish and I am still surprised how similar Scottish slang is to Geordie slang.
scran is used litterally all around the country so its not really regional slang. started in liverpool.
Well done on correctly pronouncing "Edinburgh", rather than ending it with "burrow" the way lots of US-Americans do. :)
Or Edinburg 🤣
Edin bruh
Edinbra 😂
Grace is getting the hang of the accents, I'm impressed. Eric though... I mean you tried. 😂
Scran means food, we use it here in North East England too.
Welcome back to the UK!
Yeah, we've agreed that Grace is the queen of accents in this family XD
I agree, but Eric is more in tune when it comes to hearing the changes!
its used across the uk, originates from the north west but for some reason eveery region thinks it originates from their region
Grace's Danny Dyer made me laugh , you have a good ear
Thank you 😆
If anything, Danny Dyer's cockney accent is exaggerated.
Yes Grace does have a particularly good ear.
@@MrJonno85 By him, yes, but genuine Cockneys speak like that, he's just not a thoroughbred so has to ham it up a bit for his public persona and what gets him the work.
found you from your first UK accent reaction, love how respectful you are, makes a lovely change
Nah its cringe, I like seeing honesty. Why lie about thinking an accent sounds cool, obviously certain accents, southern accents being one, are awful, manc accent, awful and boring sounding
Words ending in -y, that make an 'ee' sound, frequently is said "eh" in northern England. "Sadleh" for sadly, "nasteh" for nasty, "crazeh" for crazy and so on.
Elision is drawing words together.
I think Colin Morgan was saying "theatre production"
Ray Winstone, Jamie Foreman and Alan Ford have strong/stereotypical London accents, hence their frequent casting as Cockney gangster types.
"Bam" is a fool in Scotland, related to the word barmy.
Alex Jones, who presents the One Show on BBC, is from Carmarthenshire, she has a wonderful accent. Cerys Matthews and Ruth Maddoc have lovely Welsh tones too.
Speaking of West Country-- Vicky Pollard is pure Bristol ('Brizzle')
Enjoy Norn Iron! Paddy Campbell's taxi tours in Belfast will give a great understanding of NI history.
I think you have a typo - it should be "elision"
@@hadz8671 And you'd be right. I shall edit.
So true 🙋🏾♀️

i have watched them and to remind im from the uk lol xxxx
PLEASE, PLEASE, DON'T DO IT AGAIN..
Not the shirt Eric, wear a string vest😂🤣
And don't ever tell a Cornishman they sound like they're from Somerset or Devon. That's like telling someone from Quebec he sounds American😂 Cornwall even has its own ancient language..
Scran= food, and used throughout the UK along with other regional terms.
BARM or Barmpot = idiot
Most "Northern" accents (including Welsh) will pronounce the words as they are written rather than Southern accents, who sound far more contrived.. IE: Pub, Northern, Peb, Southern accent
As mentioned elsewhere in this comments section, please be careful not to offend certain people with talk of Britishness when you're out-and-about in Northern Ireland.
This might give you some idea of the situation there: ruclips.net/video/wxpYW_w5pgo/видео.html 😉
@@MrJonno85 Jon, that's a great clip I hadn't seen before. Horribly accurate too!
Please do the west cumbrian and east cumbrian accents, or even just the cumbrian accent on a whole
Accents can even be confusing to our own. My Dad tells a story of his Grandmother who was born in 1872. She had come from from a small town in Berkshire (now in Oxfordshire) called Wantage. Now her brother in law only came from just over a mile away, in a tiny village next door called Challow, but he had been born in to a farming family that hadn't much mixed with people outside his tiny village, and only ever really went to market. She used to say '' I can't understand the silly old fool''
Peter Kay with the Bolton accent - him, and his voice, are quite iconic 😂 - ruclips.net/video/HUrx0FPVdw8/видео.html
(And yes I do say "pull me up on it" but I couldn't say how many people say it!?)
Thank you!!
Saves me suggesting it again! Woop for Bolton!
@@dannyreilly9319 same! Biased cos Im from there but I do think its one of the more unique Northern English accents. Blackburn as well with the rhoticity is pretty stand out too.
Saves me recommending it too! I would also look at Fred Dibnah. Typical old fashioned Bolton accent there..!
Peter Kay's voice and humour is the best
I am from Cornwall and that guy does have a quite a strong accident but most of us just have more of a turned down voice compared to his.
Carmarthen is Car- ma (think the word for mother) - thun or cu-ma-thun depending on your background
Thank you!! I'll get it right next time :D
Colloquially just call it carms
@@MrLeoHaslett or just "the West" if you live east of Llanelli...
welshdragon99 from Haverfordwest so cant relate aha
@@MrLeoHaslett ah Pembrokeshire, little England beyond Wales and an area very familiar to many of us South Wales lot. Your town is where the local militia came from to engage the French army when they last invaded isn't it?
The Cornish accent is very much how he represented it. It’s harder to find a really good Cornish accent now but if you talk to the older generations down here they do speak very similar to him.
You two are so sweet and kind. I dunno. Watching your videos when I've had a tough day just really helps me chill a bit. You both seem like such nice people. Thanks
Thank you so much! That's so sweet! We're so glad our videos help you relax xx
Two* but yeah they seem very nice
Random, but I'd love to see you react to britpop/bands that never made it big in America (Oasis, Blur, the Stone Roses etc.)😆😆😆 Love your videos by the way!!
That's a good idea!
@Brendan Mather Weren't they 'Baggy" or 'Madchester' ?
@Brendan Mather Great suggestions!! I put the Stone Roses down cause they aren't really big in America, and because they're a really good band!!😆😆
You guys are great. Really smashing the stereotype that people from the USA aren't great at understanding/interpreting other cultures. I'm from high Wycombe in Buckinghamshire. Please reply if you want me to send you a video of me talking, high Wycombe does have it's own accent as all places in the UK do but it's a bit subtle. Thank you.
I recommend you check out the Aberdeen/Aberdonian accent (maybe as part of a Scottish accents video?) from Joyce Falconer/Faulkner. She is an actor in long-running Scottish soap River City, and her accent is really interesting.
@
Grace was right, Colin Morgan was saying "theater production" there not "the other productions.
Yay! I was right!
Always love your vids, keep em coming.
I always look forward to these accent reaction videos
Yay!!
New home looks awesome!!! Have you checked out scottish traditions? For example; bagpipes, highland dancing and the Flower of Scotland x
Not yet! But that's a great video idea! x
@@WanderingRavens people often say that in Scotland we are overly patriotic but we have some beautiful traditions and culture that we love to show
Another cracking video! Great to see you back in the UK.
That shirt is pretty dapper, mate. Like your style. And Grace, though Eric may be good at picking out sounds and accent traits, I think you just pip him at imitating them! ☺
Thank you so much, Andrew! So glad you liked this one :D And yeah, we've both agreed that Grace is the expert when it comes to imitating accents. You should hear her speak French!
Wandering Ravens
Would love too ,but wouldn’t be able to understand her 😜
@@johnbaird4912 XD
Wandering Ravens
You guys do great job keeping us entertained 👍😁
The thing about Welsh accents is that words are slightly stretched with the accent on the first syllable and a tiny pause before the second. Hence CUL..ture, WEDD..ing etc
I live between Swansea and Llanelli and I have a Swansea accent (along with various bits I picked up in the Army) but the Llanelli accent has the pause in the middle of words. And they also add a couple of letters to the end of certain words i.e my Granddaughters, will refer to their mother as "mammy-er". Strange!
I’m from the Rhymney valleys, by Merthyr. It’s mad how different accents can be just 20 mins journey away. When I go Caerphilly they can sound “posh” to us.
@@hermione-lilyrose6328 my dad was from Merthyr, so I know what you mean. In the Valleys, "mate" is "butt" but in Swansea its "Mush"!!😂
🎉👕We finally did it!! A HUGE, HUGE thank you to all our wonderful Patrons. We appreciate each and every one of you! Thank you for helping us create these videos and thank you for helping us finally get Eric a new shirt 😄💕
Next target new necklace for Grace 📿👍
@@wencireone Good idea!
@@WanderingRavens
Whereabouts in NI are you?
@@MagentaOtterTravels I agree, I think it suits you Eric!
Yes Grace, did Eric buy you the new necklace? It looks OK, and we know he's minimalist, but...... Tell him you deserve something a bit more expensive looking than a flat machine washer on a bootlace. 😁😆🤣😂
I’m scouse and bad at impressions. Every impression I do (even of myself) comes out Cornish 😭😅
I’ve been hearing accents like these all my life and I find these interesting because I don’t notice any of what you do! I wish I could send you a snippet of my accent and see what you think in comparison to where I live. I don’t have a typical accent to my area! ❤️
So glad you're enjoying our videos!! And that sounds like a good video idea :D
West Country accents are all similar. I’m not from the West Country and I can’t tell the difference between each one. West Country is also another way of saying the South West of England.
If you're from there, you can tell the difference. Bristol is very different from Cornwall, for example.
@@NelSpringrose yes this! I'm in Devon and can distinguish them, in fact to me they're all pretty different!
The accents in the Westcountry are not the same. There is a difference between the counties. I grew up in Devon.
@@NelSpringrose Good to know! We'll have to do a Bristol one soon!
even more so when you add Nordic to a North Devon accent.
Next time include a Hampshire accent aswell. Also, do Essex and Bristol!
Yh do a Essex lass
Would love to see you react to a Lancashire accent - try Paddy McGuinness and Freddie Flintoff from Top Gear
Thank you for the recommendation!
"From Top Gear" 😖😖
I think Peter Kays accent is Stronger
theres also Johnny Vegas he has a broader lancashire accent..
@@WanderingRavens and the cumbrian accent, somewhere between the lancashire accent and the Yorkshire accent, im struggling to think of anyone with a strong cumbrian accent but you could try fellow youruber carlisle 195 or footballer jarrad branthwaite
Absolutely love this vid. Grace got the accents spot on. Especially cockney London (east London).
These are the most thoughtful and intelligent videos i have seen on uk accents. Well done troops
Scran means food, but can also mean to eat food e.g. "I scranned that fish and chips".
Geordies use "scran" and "radge" too. Bad tempered old man is a "radgey gadgey". There's a Newcastle beer of that name.
@@raymartin7172 I'm a Pit Yacker (county Durham accent) myself, so am fairly familiar with the Geordie dialect (even went to Newcastle Uni). You'd be surprised how few people in Newcastle understand the north eastern vernacular. I had to water down my accent as a (close enough) local. The city is full of southerners these days.
Would love you to do a Sheffield accent! Either Alex Turner would be a good example😁 or Sean Bean!
yesss
And once again I am reminded Sean Bean will always be Seen Been in my head
As a Salopian, I'd love to see some representation of Shropshire in your videos sometime.
As for accents, the guys from the TGF channel, especially Jay Swingler, have a strong accent that's found in Wolverhampton, as well as Telford and some other parts of Shropshire.
Pull me up on it, is a very frequently used term. Especially from where I’m from in England.
Carmarthen ~ Ca-MAAH-then; some pronounce it Camaahthun or C'maahth'n. Either way, the "th" is pronounced as in "the".
Ooo! So the "r"s are not pronounced?
@@WanderingRavens Carmarthen is actually the English name for the town. The original Welsh is "Caerfyrddin", so yes, when you pronounce the English translation you don't pronounce (roll) the r's, but in the Welsh you do (as it's a phonetic language)
@@WanderingRavens They are if you say it in Welsh (Caerfyrddin = Merlin's Fort), but not usually in the anglicised Carmarthen. But, as you're American and speak a form of English where "r"s are sounded, you can do so if you like :) Other speakers of English where the "r"s are pronounced - Scots, Irish and people from the West Country - would tend do do so too.
With most Welsh place names the emphasis is on the second last syllable, such as the MAR in Carmarthen.
@@WanderingRavens You'd probably sound the 'r's are you have rhotic accents, but most locals using this anglicised name wouldn't as anglo-welsh accents are non-rhotic :) Welsh does used a tapped 'r', so the Welsh "Caerfyrddin" would be pronounced with the r, even if Carmarthen isn't.
You *definitely* need to keep trying the accents yourselves! Eric, you nailed the Edinburgh & Grace that was an excellent East Londoner. 😀
Thank you!! We'll keep it up!
Hi, really enjoy your videos. Keep them comming as they are really interesting. The phrase "Pull me up on it" I use for work. Usually means you have done something wrong. I am originally from North London and never knew I had a London accent or dialect until I moved to Cornwall over 5 years ago.
Hey it's cool you're here in NI, hopefully you post loads of videos of it
I never realised how much us welshies emphasized U''s- turns out it's a lot
It's a lot! XD
Oh my goodness, I’d never actually heard Colin Morgan’s own accent! 😲 btw your accents are great, well done! Also, absolutely love the shirt Eric! You’re both looking very well and happy ☺️ if you’re interested in podcasts, my favourite one is Shagged Married Annoyed by South Shields (Geordie) comedian Chris Ramsey and his wife Rosie. It’s a great example of the Geordie accent and very funny (but quite rude sometimes 😅) enjoy Northern Ireland! 😘
Thank you so much, Abby! We'll keep attempting the accents then :D Also glad to hear you approve of the new shirt!
And thank you for the accent recommendation - we've added it to our podcast queue!
Ahhh loving your reviews on Northern Ireland! ❤️
You are very correct about the Armagh accent! In Northern Ireland we tend to contract our vowels an awful lot, kinda like we’re racing to finish the words I guess akskd
Ah ha! Cornwall is pretty seperate from England, culturally anyway. They have a proud Celtic history and a Celtic language which is sadly extinct.
Funfact: The 'wal' in Cornwall is the same Wal in Wales.
Both peoples are descended from Celtic Britons and both were regarded as foreign by the Saxon newcomers (Wal) meaning 'foreign'.
Celtic name for Wales: Cymru
Celtic name for Cornwall: Kernow
PS: Scran means food ☺
Wow! We didn't know any of that! Thank you for educating us, Andrew :D
Welsh name for Cornwall: Cernyw (similar to Kernow).
The Cornish language is actually in the middle of a revival! The language is evolving
@@selsig_dwp I almost didn't say the word 'extinct' because I knew there were societies to bring it back to life. I'd love to see it widely spoken.
@@selsig_dwp Diolch yn fawr! I'm off for a walk now so I'll listen to this on my way.
Please could I request a couple of accents
Guy Martin, for Grimsby, Lincolnshire
And Nottingham - Vicky McClure will probably be the easiest to find. Her Top Gear appearance is pretty good accent wise. Thanks!
(Mine is a fairly bland mix of the two.)
guy was the first person that came to mind for me !
The Cornwall accent is different from the rest of the south-west because Cornwall is celtic and has its own language. A lot of pirates came from Cornwall (Pirates of Penzance) hence the reason a lot of pirates have a rough r-rolling accent.
I love watching you Grace when Eric's talking, your face is very expressive 😁👍❤
wencire one Your*
Yay, new shirt!
Thank you!!
Lol when you quickly read that comment and its NOT what it actually says. Swore you said "Yay, new shit"
Hope you guys enjoy NI. I’ve been to Belfast a few times. Love the people, the docks, the beer and whiskey.
If you’re not up on it you should check out the history of Britain, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland. It’s not cheerful at all but very important to know.
Thank you for the recommendation! We know little-to-nothing about the relationship between those three parties, so have a lot of learning to do.
Wandering Ravens it’s also very grey and gloomy if you visit just to let you know lol, game of thrones was filmed here for a reason😂
@@WanderingRavens More important is the relationship between the two communities in northern ireland nationalist/catholic and unionist/protestant.As somebody from the republic i won't go much into it,but generally catholics have more an afintiy with the republic whereas protestants more towards britain.
Take a black taxi tour, the drivers are very very knowledgeable and you’ll get to see parts of both communities that tourists otherwise wouldn’t see x
@@SkateBabeNia Good suggestion. I agree they won't see it otherwise because more than likely they will be staying in an area predominantly of the one tradition and only get that perspective
For practicing accents I practice words with more vowels as they are easier to pull off
Good idea!
ive heard pull me up on it quite a lot here in north wales, i think its used pretty widely in the uk in general
Hi i love your videos and i look forward to them
Yay! Thank you, Matt!
Take a listen to the Dundee accent & dialect called oary. Most east Scotland accents flatten the vowel sounds but dundonians flatten them the stomp on them with their boots. Pretty much anything by Gary Robertson is good but this is my favourite, mostly because I remember being "telt to speak proper" when I was at school and listening to this takes me back 40 years.
m.facebook.com/DundeeStreetPoet.TheCundeez/videos/2553053344787363/?locale2=en_GB
On a side note it's really nice to see you do accents from different parts of Scotland, plenty people from outside (even England) just assume we all speak with the same accent when in fact there is a huge diversity across Scotland, from the norse tinged inflections of Shetland and Orkney, to the gaelic lilt in the hebrides and the weirdness that is Doric. Cheers!
Love your videos, very entertaining.
Another great video, love the shirt Eric.
Thanks!
Love these episodes! I think Eddie hall is a good example of a stoke accent cause Robbie williams’ has really worn off
Thank you for the recommendation!
Isn’t he from Newcastle under Lyme?
✈️ What do you think of our new home country??? Do you have any travel tips or recommendations for things we should do while we're here? What sort of videos would YOU like to see us make about this country? Let us know in the comments!
Wandering Ravens
Erm I am from Belfast Northern Ireland
And you should do titanic
And we have links to game of thrones
And crown bar is a popular spot for tourists
And maybe do a tour of city hall me and my mate love there
@@gregorgalway3765 Thank you for the recommendations!!
Fun fact if you're welsh and you're more likely to have celt ancestory, who were the orginal people who lived in britain, while if you're english you're more likely to have anglo saxon ancestory, who actually invaded britain long ago and settled.
I recently found out my sur name is anglo saxon, feels strange to think surnames can go that far back and not change XD While my mothers sur name was actually first recorded as being something to do with the dooms day book and Normandy :D
You could visit the Giants Causeway and The Dark Hedges.
My friend in NI used to talk of the soda bread, so maybe you should taste some while your there.
If you go up to the North Coast, you have the Giant's Causeway, and Bushmills Distillery (I don't know if Bushmills are doing tours atm)
In and around Belfast, you have Titanic (as already mentioned), though its only an hour's drive at most to Strangford Lough, and places like Castle Espie (which is a wetland s reserve where you can see the Brent Geese, which recently arrived for the winter)
Depending on how adventurous you feel, sites like Discover Northern Ireland and OutdoorNI have a load of suggestions for activities (I'd personally recommend either Canoe Hire, or a 'Guided' trip on the River Lagan from Shaw's Bridge, but I'm biased as I work for the company that does that)
scran = food, we also use it in Sunderland, and the welsh town is pronounced like car mar then
Yep ' pulled me up' is used in Cardiff, and most of the UK I would think 👍
You should react to the Lancashire accent!!
The best description of a posh Edinburgh accent (think Maggie Smith or Prof McGonagall from Harry Potter) was by Al Murray and he said that it sounded like you were talking while you had your balls shined with a super-soft shammy. So, I dunno if it works or not. But it does sound descriptive.
Oh this is the new shirt!!Very elegant Eric.Looking good
Thanks!!
For prime examples of the Cornish accent, check out the ITV drama 'Doc Martin' ...also because it's delightful. Btw well spotted about the Cornish Accent being distinct. It's the only part of England that still retains its old regional Celtic language, aka Cornish.
If you do another accent video, listen to the Middlesbrough accent please, apparently it’s a mixture of loads of different ones. It’s in the north east between Sunderland and Leeds. Also if you’ve heard of him, James Arthur is from here x

Sometimes it gets called smoggy don’t really know the history behind it
Its called smoggy because they have very polluted air.
@@tomnevo4526 it used to be really polluted but the works aren’t there no more.
How many other people cringed to 'go compare'
liz oram I did at first and then I got used to it
So hard 😖
Quite a variety in Scotland alone, Aberdonian (in Aberdeenshire)
Orkney (the islands)
Galloway, Inverness
Another excellent video. Glad to see you both back in the UK 🇬🇧
Really loving this series guys! I’d love to see a Norfolk accent reaction please. It’s really dying out. A lot of people don’t like it, but I love it! There aren’t any examples of celebrities with a ‘broad Norfolk’ accent, or any good representations in the media, but I’ve found these local lads that have done a great job of explaining some of our local dialect in their thick accents. ruclips.net/video/O1v_dtYNpnw/видео.html
Yes actors from other parts of the UK can't do a convincing Norfolk accent for toffee!!!
Love this video! You both seem lovely. You should do a video on Cockney rhyming slang. Maybe trying to guess what some phrases mean 😂
Good idea! Cockney rhyming slang is wild! And thank you! So glad you enjoy our videos :D
Go Compare guy has a classic south Wales accent. North Wales is very different and they are also more likely to speak Welsh too.
Enjoying this series very much as I am also fascinated by such wild differences across a land about the size of NY State!
Dudley is my favourite. :)
Hailing from South London, I can give you a pointer on pronunciation of the letter L in the east end, south east or south London...
When followed by a pronounced vowel, it is pronounced in the usual way; for instance 'flower', 'follow', 'below', 'bellend' etc.
In all other cases, i.e. followed by a consonant or silent vowel, it is pronounced as a 'w'; for instance 'world' becomes 'worwd', 'fold' becomes 'fowd' and 'bottle' becomes 'bottw' with glottal 't's.
Hope this helps and keep making these great videos!
Be very, very careful about talking about "British culture" in Northern Ireland, I'd hope you're aware of The Troubles, they died down but the sentiment are still there and some people will react... violently to being called British
They'll be fine, just don't try it down The Shankill or Bogside! I mean, I've visited NI a few times and only ever heard one bomb go off...
A lot of them like being called British
Anyway, they are British
@@TP-mv6en not all. The natives generally aren't but the planters are.
People have a choice of passport in NI...unlike the rest of the UK..
Pat Aherne Yeah but “British” refers to everyone in the UK since there is no other word to refer to those people
Eric & Grace fly from Germany to Northern Ireland, Eric's luggage with his trademark purple shirt fly to Sri Lanka, that's airport baggage handlers for you.
Sounds about right 😆
Northern ireland is Irish
Hey from Truro, Cornwall
I'm pretty sure in 6:38 He actually says: "He said: I'm gonna have ANOTHER coffee". But the more I watch it the more a hear word 'cup' but hmmm not sure. If I watched it on telly I'd be sure he said "He said: I'm gonna av another coffe".
Also Cornwall has its own language Kernewek, It actually became extint in the past but brought back to live and now it has about 600 fluent speakers. Thats long story short :)
Comero weeth! Tereba nessa! :)
Loved the comment on the rolled "r" in the Scottish accent. I am from the south where we don't tend to pronounce it but I had a wonderful Primary School teacher from Scotland, Mrs Crombie, who insisted we "rolled our rs" so when I learnt Spanish I was able to do it. There is no such thing as "useless information" it all comes in useful at some point.
You should do the Oxford Accent ! Emma Watson is an example of this accent!
I love sing song accents they make things seem happier XD XD XD
Yes they do!
Thank you for using Jethro and also letting the whole clip play.
Even within the West Country there's a fair bit of variation.
I think Jethro slightly eccentuates the accents but it is accurate. Cornwall is quite distinct from those further north (Bristol/Gloucester) and it's very noticeable if you live in the south west
I love that you are attempting the accents, I do hear more of the dialect intonation than the accent within the impression :-) Great work as always. Very tricky to do accents.
Amazing interpretation of Carmarthen - CAM-ARR-THH-AN
We'll keep the attempts going then! :D
Scran is food
Thank you! Should have guessed that haha
@@WanderingRavens Lots of these Scottish phrases are used in the comedy Still Game. There is even an episode called Scran
@@GenialHarryGrout We still need to watch that one!
Genial Harry Grout A lot of them are also used in Northern England
With the 3rd accent I heard "I got a good scold" y'all are too young but back in the day children were corrected when they did wrong by spanking of scolding there was no. "Naughty corner" or time out
Oh don't worry. We were spanked plenty 😆
I'd say the sense is more to tell off or berate. Women who nagged their husbands were known as scolds - Google scold's bridle.
The Gloucestershire Accent, Daisy May Cooper
i don’t have a link however you can easy find clips by searching into youtube “This Country”
Given that I am from Armagh it was interesting to watch you tackle the accent. I have thought about my accent but even I thought it was rather difficult to identify any significant twerks in it
Can you please react to geordie slang? 😄
Thank you for the recommendation!! :D
I think they did Geordie in part 1.
Scran is food. Sean had a lower class Edinburgh accent.
Thank you! And thanks for the additional context on Sean's accent!
@@WanderingRavens The Morningside accent is seen as the nearest Scotland does to upper class.
Love your videos!
Definately see if you can find a video of someone with the middlesbrough accent or just Teesside in general. I would also recommend looking for a more chav version. Its the same everywhere but differents backgrounds in the same area can sound so different.
First comment?
So close!!! :D
@@WanderingRavens Yet so far!
Gutted
welshdragon99 I’m sure you will get there eventually!
@@jamesc4999 I've managed it once before, it's sad how accomplished I felt when I succeeded 😂
The Cornish and Welsh are both descended from the people who lived in Britain when the Romans came, and the languages are similar. My mother was Cornish and she spoke a little Kernewek, and she could understand a lot of Welsh. Though the accents are different, a lot of the intonations are the same.
5:26 the stumbling over the words cornish accent is an older age thing because my granddad did it (he did more as he aged) he had an old strong Devonshire accent (which is less common in devon now as younger people don't have strong a Devonshire now).
I still have a slight Devonshire accent as I grew up in a farming area in on the edge of Dartmoor. Though I now live in SW Hampshire. But still think of Dartmoor as home.
I live in East Devon and my Grandad was a farmer in WWII before he worked in the quarries of Devon and Cornwall so he got his accent from the farm,, I notice the Devonshire accent a lot more in North Devon and Dartmoor.
Jeff always drank before his shows so drink does play a big part of his voice
