Being born in Cumbria but brought up in Hampshire I have both a northern & southern pronunciation of my surname depending on where I am / whether I'm talking to family / northern friends or...everyone else.

But my nickname / profile name is the northern version.

what you saying about wythenshawe?

 

I am from there and sound Nothing Like Caroline Ahern. although I must admit I had a speech therapist for many years who was a scouser.  So for my formative years I was often mistaken for Liverpudlian. Worst thing ever when growing up in Wythenshawe sounding scouse.

Thankfully I said nothing derogatory about Wythenshawe as quite frankly with me coming from Newton Heath, I am in no position to.

I thought the Wythenshawe accent was pretty similar to the north Manc accent. Is it more in common with the south Manchester accent?

Surely a Scouse speech therapist is a bit of an Oxymoron? They sound like Mancs on whizz. Saying that I prefer their accent over mine.

Are you not from Failsworth  or Moston? Did I dream that?

North Manchester accent is pretty different to Wythenshawe.

I get alsorts. Despite living in the same town for all my life. Mine is a Lancashire and Manc hybrid. Some words sound a bit yorkshire too.

I say sturrs instead of stairs. Fo-wer instead of Four.

No one speaks like a Liam Gallagher. Even his brother.

I am in Newton Heath mate. Are you not in Middleton? There is a difference once you go outside the M60. It is mad really considering it is only a few miles.

I am called Eastwood so it is pretty hard to mess that up in any  accent :-)

I am from Rochdale really, but now live on the edge of Midd / Heywood.. all classes as Rochdale MBC. (Yes, I am an oldham fan, thanks to my dad if you remembered that!)

Leave a few straws for the Radiohead fans. Surely she could be subbing Radiohead in Stonebridge Bar.

Where are you from? I'm from Rossendale, although now living the wrong side of the Mersey in Stockport.

well peeps, i'm still hearing Adele, Adele, and more Adele.

If she was anything but a Glasto headliner I'd probably have her at TBC by now.

You should just give it TBC and watch twitter explode....

Jeeez. Why don't they just get on with it and club us over the head and put us out of our self-inflicted hopeful misery?

Try to stay on topic Neil. Woff or woah? And do you like gravy on chips or The Office?

Thanks for the Adele info though.

    • UK to strip back procurement rules to focus on job creation, says Louise Haigh https://www.ft.com/content/9878a2e4-3ac5-43b0-b2c9-b1fe1a4b65e7?syn-25a6b1a6=1   Burnham is not serious about tackling climate change. Having conditions on govt contractors is one of the easiest ways to drive standards and behaviour.

    • What is too old for Leeds Fest now ?  I'm going to the Fontaines Saturday in a few weeks at 54 !!!  I may be the oldest there 🙂    Wythenshawe may be an option for WA.
    • Pretty much all festivals lose out on major artists because of production limitations though. Glastonbury is no different to most other festivals.  Lots of acts can/will adapt their tour production to suit festival stages if they want to play them, but some acts with stage designs and routines just don't want to adapt, and would rather just stick with a rigid, well-rehearsed production and take the money for their own gigs, whether that's a lot more than playing Glastonbury, or slightly less than playing some other festivals (but with added complications). Trying to adapt the stage, layout, access to b-stages etc to accommodate a single headliner on a Friday and then having to change it all around for a Saturday headliner isn't really a goer when most headliners can just easily adapt their show to stay on a main stage, if they're so inclined. They have a year to figure out how to perform a song on a main stage and ditch a few dance routines out on a b-stage if they really put their mind to it. It's not that difficult......
    • I would be all over Wolf Alice but may have outgrown this venue.    Also have to consider the schedule they have been on this year so may be on a break.  This last 10 days alone they did Tramlines, New York, Chicago and Kendal Calling.  Although make hay while the sun shines may come into play.
