ta v much  

I think a lot of these are common across the country rather than localised Leicester/east mids. I’m not sure that there are many of them that have a local word or phrase (which is probably why I needed to ask ) 

 

I didn’t know scret for dirty

100% a Nottingham phrase 

I don't think there IS a Leics accent. It's an East Midlands accent and words we commonly use will be used in Notts, Derbys and Northants. Even as far as Lincs and South Yorks.

It was on here, Buce maybe, that pointed out people from Leicester say ‘straight the way’ rather than ‘straight away’. 
 

You’ll probably always notice it now.
