From: Bonzo3legs Sunday breakfast listening today is Flossie Malavialle, who we saw in 2016 - what a wonderful performance it was. Amazingly, her first language is French, she sings in a non regional English accent, but talks in pure Geordie!!! |

From: The Sandman Bonzo, she lived in Darlington an worked at Stockton, when i heard her i would have described her accent as teeside not geordie. TEESIDE is different from geordie just as croydon is different from southend |

21 Mar 21 - 11:17 AM (#4098648) Subject: RE: Flossie Malavialle's accents!! From: GUEST,Derrick I think her accent could be described as a mixture of County Durham and a hint of French. |
21 Mar 21 - 02:09 PM (#4098669) Subject: RE: Flossie Malavialle's accents!! From: JHW County Durham, Teesside and Geordie all different. (I live nr Teesside Airport now but worked in Co.Durham). Co.Durham + French probably right - but where in France? |

21 Mar 21 - 03:48 PM (#4098675) Subject: RE: Flossie Malavialle's accents!! From: r.padgett Marseille I think! Flossie took a lot of her English accent from Vin Garbutt and his mannerisms ~ Vin was a brilliant entertainer/ singer with his own opinions on many things; comedic sometimes ~ from Tees side and probably Guisborough ~ it is in Yorkshire historically though some other made up name now!
