Thread Name: Worst accent or what?
Subject: RE: Worst accent or what?
When I was a kid, growing up in Peterborough, one of our teachers shouted at our class: "you kids have got the worst accent I've ever heard!"
A Peterborough accent sounds something like this:
"Ah y'all roight, mate? Did'ja come on y' boike?"
Although I deplore the fact that a person, charged with responsibility for our education, should seek to undermine our self-confidence in this way ... he may have had a point ... possibly?
