SometimesSansEngine Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 I stand resolute that no-one in the history of the world has said "mummy, I'm just going to have a barf"So why on earth I'm called common for pronouncing the place the same as the cleaning tub I have no idea.

SometimesSansEngine Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 Tagging [mention]Magpie84[/mention] in something then waiting to see how long it is before I get in trouble for what I said is basically my weird way of checking how often she is checking the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyrider Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 By my definition the North is anything above the M4. I can see a good chunk of your hot spots are above that, so I can see where they're coming from.True, most of my mates are from "inside the bubble" (M25) and so when I say bath and it doesn't sound like barf, they fall about laughing (laughing which also, does not have an "r" sound in it! ) Bath is pronounced Baff. I grew up ten miles away and I know this to be an irrefutable fact.I'm sat in Baff right now, the only people who say "Barf" are posh wannabies. Oh, and @Magpie84 and are about to throw up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack01 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I did this when it was on another forum a while back. I think I confused it. From Norfolk downwards was completely red (including parts of Wales) with Dover, Portsmouth and Bristol being in dark red. I grew up in Buckinghamshire which it had as slightly lighter than the rest.

RantMachine Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 There's a yank version of this too, my workmates insisted that I take it and apparently I'm either from NYC or Honolulu. Not much between the two I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old-timer Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 No surprises here...I am found out as a foreigner...Here's proof ! But... more surprising (if not shocking) is the following:German friends of mine gave me a link in Facebook to have my origin analysed by my facial features.(My facebook name is 'Auld Tymer', hence I am called 'Auld').The answer is in German, but the message is clear: I am of AUSTRALIAN origin! Accuracy of 98 % ! And believe me, Germans know what they are doing...If they say I'm Australian, than I am Australian. No wonder my English does not match British or Irish dialects...But I do speak damn good Dutch. For an Australian... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickly Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Not very accurate in my case . I'm from Coventry and it put me in Birmingham and Sheffield . Haha - did the same to me, although I did spend the first 23 years of my life in Brum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
