Ooooo please see my post in questions and answers about dialect speakers...you could be just the people im looking for!! (didnt want to repost it here in case I got done!)
In response to the topic though, I didnt realise half the stuff I was saying was just Lancashire until I went to university...one girl looked at me dead funny when I told her to stop mithering!
....its shocking the amount of people in sunderland now that go round saying 'eigh up' and talking about 'dooerstop butties' and 'corporation pop' ...id like to think it was my doing
