Loc: UK - Leeds for uni, Merseyside for home!
Cant believe I wrote that xylophone was spelt with a z...I thought it looked wrong am just too tired! Shame on me...and Im meant to have gone to a good school aswell!lol! Proves how crap the education system in this country is....11+ indeed!
As for my accent....well dya know I dont really know what I sound like...sometimes I open my mouth for literally a second and someone will go are you from liverpool??? and when I first came from uni...the 1st people I met said...thats so cool you sound like something off brookside!! But I really dont have a strong accent at all. My family on both sides is from Aigsburth in Liverpool...which is one of the nicer areas! They moved over to the Wirral...across the mersey and thats where Ive grown up...not far from Birkenhead where lilly savage is from(paul o'grady)...I live in the really nice area though by the beach...and so where I live...one way down the main road and you get poshish accents...and one way down the other is as common scouse as it gets!! So as Im stuck in the middle I think Im midway! When Im around friends back home it obviously comes out more...just like you! Im only 20 mins from Liverpool city centre(or ofcourse you can get the 'ferry across the mersey' and so Liverpool is my home city! I love the place though...obviously Im biased...but Im very patriotic about it...especially the football team! Red all the way! And of course we have just won 'European Capital of Culture for 2008' *yes natalie rub it in! Have you been to Liverpool Sinead??...cos theres so many irish bars there we love the irish....most of us are originally from there anyway!!
