Being Dutch, I never noticed the Geordie accent untill the start of Covid. In Amsterdam, all shops and entertainment were closed due to the restrictions. A lot of foreign tourists still went to the Dutch capital (Amsterdam) and of course they were very disappointed. I remember one group of lovely girls who spoke in a funny way, an English accent I hadn't heard before. Cockney, Upper Middle Class Londonese, Scottish, Irish, etc., I was all somewhat familiar with thanks to the films and tv. Now the Geordie accent is my favourite English accent.
The Northern Irish accent sexy? Hadaway and shite. Who remembers Ian Paisley? MISSUS THATCHUR... 😂😂😂 It's about as sexy as blow round the head with a dead sheep.
What does the woman with the glasses at the start of the video say? Literally to me it sounded like “ Didn’t drop the hedgehog along the proggy knot” If any Geordies are reading this please don’t be offended. I just can’t understand a word she’s saying.
Load of rubbish ! I’m a 74 yr old geordie and I hate the accent , I’ve lived in Scotland for many years and can’t get rid of the irritating accent , I cringe when Ant and Dec come on the tv , nothing nice about it at all !
Being a Geordie living doon under, when people smile and nod, you know they have no idea what you have just said, my accent is now a lot softer but when I get excited it reverts straight back into Scotswood Road 100 % percent Geordie... plus the speed at which we speak confuses them as well whey aye, canny man, hinny
Given this was a video about the Geordie accent, it would have been nice to have actually heard some Geordies speaking it - rather than hearing others merely commenting ABOUT it.
I have lived in Newcastle for a few months and at first struggled to understand some people sometimes, but imho Northerners are supremely warm and friendly people always with a smile on their faces.
When I first came to the northeast I thought people spoke very slowly. When I went back to visit in Manchester I thought that they spoke slowly - very odd 🤪
Most of the people interviewed are from the far south of England and European what happened to the real people!? Lastly, I love how they partly put the dialect and accent down as just old English and forgotten about even though its a known accent like Yorkshire and Lancashire which are incredibly still spoken as in the accent, its seems its turning into another plain English default accent which is found in Oxford and Westminster and so on, as its becoming increasingly soo common now days around England and all the original accents are being killed of. Soo sad 😔
I'm a Geordie and remember talking to two lasses, outside a nightclub in Northhampton. They both said I was faking my North East accent, so I could score with them?
Weird i genuinely understand most english and all the people on the vid but i worked with a old gordie and when i met him all i could understand was swear words, it wasn't a sexy nor trusted accent from him
