Wait until I speak to you - after half an hour I'll have a Geordie twang too. It's going to confuse the hell out of the Ozzies if we are ever all in the same place at the same time.

I lived in Liverpool for 3 years too...... I bet I've got a bit of scouse too - although when I lived there, I shared a flat with an Irish girl and got her accent too!

where in newcastle where you?
i'm not difficult to understand (being from Whitley Bay i have a softer version of the accent)
i worked with a lad who was from the west end - and he used to have to transfer people on the phone from 'down south' to me 'cause they couldnt understand a word he was saying
