As another poster said it'd have to be Scottish or a 'nice' English accent for people to say "I luv your accent" ;) :p ;) :D

A nice Yorkshire accent gets compliments all the time.

Re: British accents
 

Thet guy I work with (another Brit) get that sometimes, although he's also had it from blokes too, perhaps they think bats for both sides :rofl: :rofl: (if he reads this he's gonna kill me!)

I tend to get complimented often ;) Mined ewe I also regularly get the 'huh, wotchootalkingaboutwillis' look too sometimes:lol:

Must be my West Cundry accent:ohmy: :ohmy:

Some woman told my fiance "oh I just looooove your accent, I could eat it up with a spoon!"

I think he started backing slowly away...

Re: British accents
 

slowly lmao .....

although i think that is quite nice to hear, never heard it before.

I'm sure it does, Sweetheart - but how do you make yourself understood? :confused:

Ayup :) :thumbsup:

Re: British accents
 

lolol I was speaking to a woman in Yorkshire on the phone, and I managed - just.

I actually have more trouble with some of the Scottish accents (not my honey's thankfully).

I also remember my elderly neighbor - "Oh, you should hear the Scottish guy next door. Can't understand a word he says, but we LOVE to listen to him" - following by delighted cooing of the young women she was speaking to.

He also can speak French, so was always pested to speak French to the girls. So he smiled sweetly and gently taught them the most horrendous insults, which of course sounded lovely. I hope noone takes those phrases back to their high school French teachers. I think one involved anatomically impossible acts with chickens...

Well, anyone who doesn't like the way I talk can baiser mon cul... :p

Re: British accents
 

OK, can you be a surrogate grandmother for me?

Re: British accents
 

lol I unfortunately do NOT speak French - other than one phrase I suspect I shall never use ;)

I'll ask my "translater" later today :)

Re: British accents
 

Or you could just read Vanity Fair! :rofl: (the novel, not the magazine...)

Babelfish translate is faster. And, yep, I guessed correctly. My, but it gives such a polite translation.

Re: British accents
 

Obviously it will be a very difficult task for me...but as you obviously need nurturing...I will do my very best.:kiss:

Re: British accents
 

Obviously :p
