Good Evening

[choux]

I am not a frequent poster here, but tonight it has occurred to me what you all sound like. I see some posters are very frequent and it has made me wonder if I would find your voices interesting enough to want to pursue a conversation with you. Please indulge me ;)

[Mamyalynne]

Rather broad Bolton accent here,an acquired taste for some.

[choux]

Do many acquire your taste?!

[sherrardk]

South Wales valley accent although I haven't lived there for years.

[choux]

I think I frightened Mamy off. Ta sherr - I have a cousin who married a Welsh girl, she is really lovely, so welcome to my thread :)

[ladyalex]

East coast Scottish accent here, softened a bit by living for about 15 years in England.

[Mamyalynne]

I can't speak for those who don't like it - it has caused humour at times through the years on occasion.

[melv16]

Most of the women sound like a parrot caught in a shredder :-)

[Baldric]

Slight West Country Accent here, but surely it's the quality of the conversation that's the important thing?

[ladyalex]

I agree with Baldric.
A bit shallow to only talk to someone if you find their accent interesting.

[choux]

ladyalex - I love Scotland :) melv - you really like the ladies, I can tell!
Baldric - I think accents are a great intro. They are the first thing that attract me, then I listen to the conversation.

[ladyalex]

What do you sound like, Choux?

[tamborine]

Me? Am told I sound like the naff off woman :(

[choux]

Old. But I have had my moments ladyalex.

[choux]

tamborine - sorry, I have never heard off the naff-off woman until now.

[tamborine]

Royalty, my dear

[tamborine]

And I hate plums

[choux]

Ah, Princess Royal then, your Highness :)

[tamborine]

Ahhh bejeesus

[DaisyNonna]

If that is your criterion why should we bother?

[choux]

I thought that was a major part of Answerbank DaisyNonna - no-one has to bother with anything if they choose not to. I just have a keen ear for accents.
