If we were to meet BE posters, would we be taken aback with their accents and looks. People get pre-concieved ideas and only when we are introduced, do we go, "He/she is not what I expected". Scottiscelts comes from near me as does Soapy, so I know what they sound and look like (saw photo). Is this just me or is it more comon.

Well i met Bobbyfm and he's like he is,weird,but his missus is lovelyHave also met Pollyana and she is indeed a weather witch

Pollyana

OOh you say the nicest things sometimes

You're rather like you appear on here, crazy and off the wall

Would love to meet you Framac, time to put a face to the name after all these years - then i'd know who was on the end of the next disaster!

Bernieboy

Accents may be similar, but diction and style varies, so I suppose I've never really connected a voice to a location. Pre-conceived ideas: think this would apply to just about everyone - such is the nature of the internet. You can't pigeon-hole individuals but certainly groups and 'scenes' emerge...

..or am I thinking too honestly and orginally again, and will cop it for saying this

Pollyana

I'll make it up there one day and meet you in person - I'm not coming on a day when its raining though

framac67

Never spoke directly to Soapy or Sc but al bet a pound to a penny, they sound the same as me. You could throw a blanket and it would cover our threes areas.

framac67

Could do with a drop of rain. (just a wee drop). Hardly had any this year.

Bernieboy

Met the soapster and he does indeed talk utter pish,but a good lad all the same

Pollyana

Kerist you've jinxed yourself now Please don't let it be on my shift........

framac67

Telt ye. Ah thought ah was the only wan who could get sunburn on his tongue.

Jan4kids

I often don't factor in a regional accent when I'm reading posts in my head.....and when meeting people from here I often feel a bit silly that I am taken aback that they are Scottish, Northern, Irish etc lol!

Jan (A Norf Londoner innit)

framac67

Thats exactly what I mean Jan. For some strange reason, I assume everybody speaks like me.

scottishcelts

Excuse me - i'm far too posh to sound like you. I can't understand you half the time when you start speaking in that .... slang tongue of yours.
