Best person would be Cashman ... he even types in an Accy accent ...
And he is a good talker, with lots of tales to tell.
Don't think the actual accent has changed over the years Will .. still using the flat 'a' as in hat and diphthongs are not even known around here .. as in 'cold'. Just not using 'watter' for 'water' etc. There is a huge difference between towns though .. it's amazing. Get to Bolton/Manchester and they say Cah Pahk for Car Park, etc.
The other week at Manchester Airport, this huge security lady asked me to put my bar code from my boarding pass on this scanner ... put my bag on it !! Couldn't quite catch what she said ... "Bah code". Got the eyes to heavens look to one of her colleagues ... LOL. I worked in Manchester for 16 years, but still misunderstood her.
