I've also been in a meeting with well spoken people and one used the phrase "it's gedding bedder". I asked if he played for Bayern Munich.
I like singers who use their own accent but don't mind the American thing either. Weller does both iirc.
They were listening out for Cork, I was probably asking for a C-oh-uck
I do hate the notion that singing in one's own accent is inherently better though. It works for some but not all.
Ozzy singing Paranoid in a brummy accent? No thanks!
My kids seem to find people on the telly with strong West Midlands accents quite funny whilst completely oblivious that's how they sound to other people.
My kids starting saying Carstle after watching Peppa Pig....it got swiftly dealt with and now they talk like normal people again
Although Elton John's Nashville accent is bordering on ridiculous.
What I cannot stand is made-up accents with weird vowels and shit, like oo-look-at-me-i'm-a-fucking-fairy-in-the-forest type stuff. It mostly seems to be shit acoustic songs, sometimes coolio acoustic versions of past hits. Oh, look how different I am, look how different I am! As different as the rest of them, dear.
My feedback thread is here.
I used to work at Holly Lodge (previously Smethwick Hall) @EricTheWeary . It looks like a UFO since they did it up. Certainly not posh now!!
The fake Jamacan accent (even by some Jamacans) from white middle and working class youngsters is a real worry, the incorrect grammer and missing words in sentances is as bad as text speak. Standards old boy, standards.
I used to go to school with a guy named Joel (he was the year above me), and he was born and bred in our town (Bishops Stortford), and spoke just like any other local person.
He left to go to college, and I didn't see or speak to him for a year. The following year, I also left to go to college, which turned out to be the same college he was attending. I didn't know he was there.
So one lunchtime, im sitting watching a group of lads playing basketball, and 'Blimey'...I thought, that's Joel. I didn't realise he came here. A friendly face, I thought. When they finished playing I walked over to him to say hello. He looked at me, looked back at his friends and said "Whos this guy", in some really bad New York accent.
Already long story made slightly shorter; turns out he'd convinced all of his 'Basketball friends' he was American, and I have absolutely no idea why. Maybe he thought it made him cool or something?
Twat.
A few "you talkin to me?" would have thrown him right off.
