Forgetful

[DanaC]

I love the geordie accent and dialect. It's one of my favourites. It's held out much longer than most of the other Northern accents against the homogenisation of language.

If you move from Lancashire to Yorkshire the two accents find a place to meet and merge into one another. Same if you take most northern accents down south. My geordie mate has been living in Yorkshire for over 20 years and spent time living in the Midlands and the South before that. He still sounds distincly geordie, despite attempting to tone it down to be understood. When he gets drunk he slips into full on Tyneside, some of which I understand...
