I don't know if ....
 

I don't know if I'm losing my marbles or not.:confused: But sometimes when I visit here, I check out the pics .... just to eyeball some of the people who post regularly .... and it seems to me that you guys "look" Lancashire ... is it possible ... does it have something to do with the accent shaping the facial features? Or has living in the colonies for so long affected my brain:eek: Does anyone else see this, or is it just me?

Re: I don't know if ....
 

`LOOK LANCASHIRE`.........? thats great.........................:D:D:D:D I don`t think Lancashire has a `LOOK` but thats made me laugh.....

Re: I don't know if ....
 

Mmmm .... and what would those features be then ? .. be careful... :D

Of course, the way you form your every day speech does affect your facial muscles, same way as if you are a sour grapes. Laughter lines are a fact too.
Let's see your 'mush' ... we will compare... :D

Name names, then we'll tell you.:D

There is definitely a very local use of exagerated mouth movements, as examplified by Les Dawson and Roy Barraclough's Cissie and Ada.

It's all to do with working in t' noisey mills, when you had to mouth what you wanted to say to your workmates.

Re: I don't know if ....
 

I can't really describe it ...

Anyway, I'm off to Montreal to watch the Canadiens play the Penguins ..... I'll check around the crowd to see if the folks there look French;)

And I'll see if I can find a pic that doesn't make me look like Jethro Tull's "Aqualung" .... :alright:

Re: I don't know if ....
 

You'll be able to smell they're French, before you get close enough to check.;)

Dirty heathen beggars.

I dunno, Panther, prob the best yet, at least he is a bit rugged! :)

Re: I don't know if ....
 

probably because he's the oldest....I think!

None appeal to me at the moment.

Re: I don't know if ....

Here's a few Lancashire faces. What do you think?

They're from Wigan (Warrington), Oldham, Bury, Blackburn, Rochdale, Accrington and Wigan again. Is there a shared "look"?

Just in case you don't know, it's George Formby, Bobby Ball, Victoria Wood, Anthony Valentine, Gracie Fields, Jeanette Winterson and Frank Randle. :)

Re: I don't know if ....
 

Both Les and Roy are Lancastrian born too.;)
