Re: local accents
I don't think I have an Accy accent. I'm a bit mixed up. Having spent a lot of time in Ireland I tend to slip into a bit Irish sounding if I'm talking to Irish people. And now of course living with a Southerner I pick up on some of that too - mind you he's learning to speak properly since he came up here.
Oh yes, you can definitely tell a Burnley or a Rossendale accent. Everyone I know from Burnley seems to speak v e r r e e s l o w l e e compared to people from Accy and Blackburn and say "Aah" instead of "I" as in "Aah w e nn t o ww t "
