She has a Lousy Geordy accent.
she is from Surry or Sussex, and cannot imitate it. Should have had a Geordie Girl, I know a few in Whitley Bay.

I agree, but to the unitiated it may sound like Geordie, I have often been mistaken for a Welshman by the same sort of people (until I try to sing that is).
Tony, You gotta agree mate the Brummie accent has to be the worst in the country, Not having a pop at the people themselves but that bloody accent, Sailed with a few every time they went on one i used to start dancing, Yowser, Yowser, Yowser, Bloody awful, Terry.
They are making the last series of Vera at the moment, Vera is written by south Shields born author Ann cleeves. Any of you recognise these locations from this latest series?

I met Brenda (Vera) a couple of years ago on my invite to Buckingham Palace, a very nice, quiet, well spoken lady and nothing like her character. As for her Geordie accent, they vary in different parts of Geordie land as they do in different parts of Yorkshire, Devon etc, so which particular dialect do you choose. Far better performance than Americans (bless Em!) trying to do an English accent or that Aussie guy trying to do a Scottish accent.
It's a Land Rover Defender Victoria, not a range Rover, stopped making them last year as the engines couldn't meet the new emissions regulations, apparently nor could it meet the new crash resistance requirements, but in a crash I'd rather be in the Defender than the other car! A new Defender is due out later this year, looks like a jelly mould. A private entrepreneur has brought out a new vehicle which is similar, very very similar, to the old Defender and meets all the current emission and safety regs, so why couldn't LandRover do it, farmers, explorers, forestry workers don't want or need a scaled down Range Rover, they want a vehicle that has bolt on body bits easy to replace or repair with a hammer and capable of being washed out with a hose
I Believe it did Tony, Although not that i ever entered the place, I was remember passing through Wolverhampton last year the place is like a ghost town i entered a little corner shop to buy something. And asked the guy behind the counter what day does the town open, :Seeya:
Hey dont have a go at the Brummie my Daughter lives there all her life and her accent is wonderful! And i too lived there for some time loved the accent! LOL Jokes Lads!
I love the accent of Copper in the TV Show , Porridge!
Cheers
Recall Marsden Grotto as a kid from London visiting his aunt how lived in that part of the country.
Her next door neighbor raced dogs regularly as the Sunderland track.
As to the Land Rover, plenty of them here including the Defender great in the bush.
I have a series 2 Discovery 2004 model which is better than the newer ones.
Was he OPEN ALL HOURS? Terry
