Phube Posted 9 September 2009 Posted 9 September 2009 Isn't it nice to hear some one on National TV go in to a room and say: "'Ow e ya!?" Ahhh... proper Leicester!
Guest Posted 9 September 2009 Posted 9 September 2009 I hate the Leicester accent. I wish I came from somewhere posher.
Phube Posted 9 September 2009 Posted 9 September 2009 I hate the Leicester accent. I wish I came from somewhere posher. I got accused at Uni of not being from Leicester. The lad was like my mate's from Leicester and you don't sound like him, you can't be from Leicester! But then I was always accused of sounding posh(ish). But then I am from Wigston!
Flynny Posted 9 September 2009 Posted 9 September 2009 I got asked by some clueless middle-class fuck at freshers whether I was from Manchester... oh dear. My accent gets softened after too long down in Bristol, I come back pronouncing my t's and h's unnaturally (i.e. at all).
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 9 September 2009 Author Posted 9 September 2009 I got asked if I was from London by some Scouse at Drayton Manor once.
Webbo Posted 10 September 2009 Posted 10 September 2009 I think that girl enjoyed her terracotta pudding.
THEfox Posted 10 September 2009 Posted 10 September 2009 Unfortunately Liam is the epitome of Leicester.
Guest Posted 10 September 2009 Posted 10 September 2009 I think that girl enjoyed her terracotta pudding. People must think that we are so thick!
Phube Posted 11 September 2009 Posted 11 September 2009 Tonight I'm making Leicester's Favourite Pudding: Terracotta Suffle! Mmmmm....
Toby or not Toby Posted 11 September 2009 Posted 11 September 2009 This programme is quality, sometimes the bloke the does the voice over is quite funny.
dogadug Posted 11 September 2009 Posted 11 September 2009 It is a good, addictive program, with some real thicko's on

My Leicester accent died a few weeks after moving to Skeggy and was replaced with a strange quasi-Lincolnshire accent. I am often caught saying 'now then' instead of hello and refer to bread rolls as baps instead of cobs. Not too bad a loss though, as Lisa says the Leicester accent isn't one of the nicer ones. It's no Northern Irish or Geordie.

Guest Posted 11 September 2009 Posted 11 September 2009 'O ya beauty!' was cracking....proper Lestoh. I thought it was pronounced "byooteh".

Ric Flair Posted 14 September 2009 Posted 14 September 2009 Haha, I went school with Liam. He was a menace back in the days.

It's no Northern Irish or Geordie. Northern Irish is one of the most nasal, grating accents there is! An Irish accent on the other hand is a completely different matter...

Guest Bilo Posted 14 September 2009 Posted 14 September 2009 Northern Irish is one of the most nasal, grating accents there is! An Irish accent on the other hand is a completely different matter... Sounded good enough on Lauren from the Inbetweeners. Kind of added to the appeal. Though the Irish accent is arguably easier on the ear.
Guest Bilo Posted 14 September 2009 Posted 14 September 2009 Those accents both make me cringe. They'd be a long way down my list of cringeworthy accents. Brummie, Devon, Glaswegian and Baansleh are all worse.
Webbo Posted 19 December 2009 Posted 19 December 2009 They're repeating the Leicester shows on C4 now if anyone's interested.
dandannieldanok Posted 19 December 2009 Posted 19 December 2009 They're repeating the Leicester shows on C4 now if anyone's interested. I swear C4 only made about 10 different weeks of Come Dine With Me and just continually recycle them, always bloody repeats.
