Nobody Ever Tells People from London How Daft They Sound

[Angry Young Man]

It sounds really aggressive as well. And they never get pulled up for it, so they say with a totally straight face 'you nawv'nah donarf towk fannay.'

('You Northerners don't half talk funny.')

london>>>>>anywhere else in the UK

[Lord Testicles]

Been to London, didn't like it.

[Blake's Baby]

That's awesome Skinz.

People do pull them up on it all the time, have you never seen Lee Mack doing his Tommy Steele impression?

[JustMovement]

I just see a lot of:
people who live in a dreary place complaining about people who live in a slightly less dreary place.

the whole world lives in london:):)

That's what fascinates me: you can get food from every village in the world, but you can't get a decent portion of fish and chips.

[Dr Mindbender]

You cant get a decent kebab either from my experience. Every time ive been to london theyve given me conjealed, burnt donner meat in a stale piece of pitta bread no bigger than my hand. Yuk.

When it comes to food the north is where its at. Manchester for kebabs and glasgow for mince curry.

[bricolage]

I don't like Manchester kebabs, I got given one in naan bread whats that all about?
Edgware road has very good kebabs if you want a 'proper' one.

[El Rojo]

i only go to london to burn banks.

otherwise i avoid it.

in all seriousness, when i now go there when there is no demo, it feels really wierd, like; "why can't i climb this bus shelter?"

[Obs]

All English people sound silly.

[Angry Young Man]

Doner kebabs are generally shit.

And Obs is right, but cockneys never get ribbed for it. For this reason they go off on one when you call them a cockney. I say 'do you know where "scouser" comes from? It's a stew Irish immigrants in Liverpool ate. Does that mean Liverpudlian veggies aren't scousers? Do they go off on one if you call them a scouser? No! And that's really something, because it's Liverpudlians' forte'

[bricolage]

'cockneys' generally go off one because most people from london (such as myself) who have been called cockneys aren't actually cockneys at all.

[Angry Young Man]

Yea yea, Bow Bells, Pearly Kings, jellied eels, etc., etc. You get vegetarians in Liverpool who don't go all 'actually, I can't eat scouse.'

So stop whining, Solo Polo.

[Manic Impressive]

I can understand why norverners have a bad impression of London. They all get off the train at Kings Cross and fink "eh up tis that thar London town we be in" but they're wrong because the real London is South of the river. We welcome all visitors as this song illustrates.

maybe if scouser only applied to one district of liverpool you'd have a rather convoluted point, as it stands it's pretty different than calling someone born in south london a cockney, quit your wordplay mon ami.

[brigadista]

all the "cockneys" moved to Essex..

[bailey_187]

no one talks like cockneys in london anymore, atleast not young people

[Manic Impressive]

I think people speak like Ali G all over the country these days. I saw a news piece interviewing some kids from Yorkshire who sounded just the same as the kids in London. Although I have only ever seen the north on TV, I could never be bothered to get all the necessary jabs to travel past Watford.

[praxis1966]

That's what fascinates me: you can get food from every village in the world, but you can't get a decent portion of fish and chips.

You can't get decent Mexican food there either from what I understand... Which is incidentally I'd never move there in a million years.

[Tablo]

I've been to London before. I thought it was nice. It is much better than New York, but I was only in London for a week so I don't think I got to experience a lot of it either. I generally have liked the European cities I've visited over the American cities I've been to.

[Buitraker]

For my was very difficult understand any cockney and for them understand me

Portion sizes are better in the north, and... that's all I can think of.

[Angry Young Man]

And the food's of a higher standard. Down south, the cod's like rubber, the batter goes damp and the chips taste boiled. I was at a chippy in Wales and asked for scraps and they look at me like a dog who's been shown a card trick. So I explain they're bits of batter and she gives me a bag full.

[Invader Zim]

You think Londoner's sound weird? Well, this is how they sound near me:

[Angry Young Man]

I used to live by Newport, so I'm used to the Welsh accent.

[bricolage]

you can't get good fried chicken up north.

[tachosomoza]

Brits. Gotta love 'em.:laugh:

[Invader Zim]

I used to live by Newport, so I'm used to the Welsh accent.

In Newport, Little England, they don't have a proper Welsh accent.

[Angry Young Man]

Yea, I think they got some of that genetic asymmetry too.

Not much, mind.

[Lord Testicles]

In Newport, Little England, they don't have a proper Welsh accent.

Aren't you from Pembrokeshire, aka Little England?

[Angry Young Man]

I thought Pembroke was one of those places where they find out your English and burn you in a wicker man.

[bailey_187]

why would u want to live in some little village or town were theres ONE high street, ONE area of bars/clubs, basicaly one of everything. how boring. smh.

fuck fish and chips aswell. lolol it is shit in london tho. i was in mile end in one of those fast food places that seems to have like everything so i asked for fish and chips because felt like it and the guy gave me a bert stare and had to ask someone else, and they dug out a frozen cod from the freezer

[Angry Young Man]

There's another problem with cockneys: they think everywhere else is Royston Vasey

Just out of interest where are you from?

[Angry Young Man]

Yorkshire, but living in Bristol. Why?

[Invader Zim]

Actually, I'm from the Isle of Man, but I live in Ceredigion and have done for many years. Fact is though, the entire M4 corridor and further West is very anglophone.

[Manic Impressive]

Yorkshire, but living in Bristol. Why?
Just wondering where all the hate is coming from :o

although secretly I thought you might have been from the south west and wanted to post a video of the wurzels ;)

[ColonelCossack]

london ftw

That'd be the Yorkshire. They don't have an acid-burning hatred for London down here.

...yet.
