My mother for some reason says tortoys instead of tortus [tortoise], and appricot instead of apepricot [apricot].

 

Stupid Scottish.  :blush:

Geordie is one of the few dialects that pronounces "H" as in RP or Queens ENglish

 

a lot drop the "H" and then the lower middle classes in those areas stick an "H" in front of everything - including words with a silent "H"

 

geordie is odd in that it drops the ends of words rather than the beginning

Do you say book as "bOOk" or "buck" and film as "film" or "fil-um"?

 

Noticed Chris Waddle is still saying "pelanty" during the world cup too.

Did you not know Renton had a medical qualification? Probably hacking up tor-toyses in his cruelty to animals seminar.

Fucking damned right, been trying to teach the poxy southerners the errors of their ways for 10 years now on that one.

 

Have managed to get Charlotte to say 'bath' though - as you can imagine, I'm not popular with that one! :D
