Well, I say ‘path’, not ‘parth’, and ‘bath’, not ‘barth’. I say ‘book’, not ‘berk’. I say ‘Will’, not ‘wiw - in other words I speak with a northern accent’. I support a northern football team (I presume Leeds qualifies as northern). And, more than anything, I feel like a northerner. If our Emma can be British, I can be a northerner. So, my state of mind is that I am a northerner, and I don’t give a rat’s arse what anyone else says. ;-)
