Being a boaty person when you speak to strangers do you put on an act pretending to be wealthy? (although the bank manager is after your hide!) or speak your county local accent?

I would then asume then you are a genuine person speaking as you find,
and best of British Isles to yer. Unfortunatley though unlike all the others that have viewed this thread, you like myself have the ar*hole to stand up and be counted, Unlike what it would seem the other vain so called yotties!
Good luck to yer and have a wee dram on me /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
in about 1991 I was just leaving the showers in Porthmadog sailing club. At that time I had a broader accent than I do now. I am from the Wirral which has a teensey resemblance to Liverpool from those not from the area, to scoucers we are woolybacks (??)
Anyway, one of the two showers was not getting hot as I remember and I said this to the two guys who had just entered the room. One of the prats turns to the other 'Bloody hell, a scoucer in a sailing club'.
If having a plum in your mouth makes you also like these two cretins then you can keep it. I always consider myself as a fisherman who likes sailing. I am not a yachtie and will not socialise with these types of people.
Eminating from RHYL , I usually retort with a bit of Welsh and a scouse accent."Or right der la ,Cymru am byth"Sorts out the"plumbsuckers" One should always communicate using ones natural accent.There again ,I say if one normally has a bent for rounded vowels one should continue in that vein as long as one is not offensive, what!
And thats exactly what I do Julie....if they do not like my accent...then stuff the lot of em!
P.S I can talk posh.....lived once in Godalming,Surrey...trouble is if I use this accent it hurts my throat!...bit like talking with glass in ones mouth!
Got nicknamed that 20 years ago when I was a bike dealer and a bit of a motorcrosser. Also called "Kamakasi" something to do with my riding style I think ,can,t remember properly too many landings on me head now where did I put my wee dram down?
It jist me, much to the dislike of some club members.
i used to race motocross and was into bikes big style, but noo into my auld love
of sailing. been into boats since i wis a peedie lad(dad was a fisherman).
Me - When in saily company I always talk with a plum in my mouth and look as if it is a sour one. Anyway, must off to iron my flaggie thingy, that's the the blue one I got from NZ and picked all the stars off of /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif.
Strewth not another Aussie who can't speak NewZild. Makes us as cross as cut snakes us having to talk in Strine to you in the lucky country like this so's youse can understand.
This T_S mate is as cunning as a dunny rat with his sucking plums thread. He's no mug I reckon. A kick up the freckle is what I say to the posh talking ant's pants.
Yer barbies going ok and getting some cold ones there I hope? Bet yer got yer sunnies on over there as dry as a dead dingo's donger while its been raining here for a month of sundays and everyone's been getting narkie. But she'll be right here soon mate 'cos we are shoot'n thru sailing for a few weeks and she'll be a pearler then and just the bush telly to look at.
Better stop yacking in case I end up talking like this all the time (doing it in Oz is bad enuff) /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif. See youse.
