I remember when I was younger I picked up the Bristolian accent in a big way, and failed to pronounce all my T's, and started to over-pronounce all my R's. I used to say 'innit!' instead of 'isn't it'. My mum would always refuse to acknowledge or respond until I pronounced it correctly, and then we'd get into an argument because I'd reply that she moved me here, how could she expect me not to pick up the accent? But I'm SO glad I don't have it too strong lol!
LOL! That's the main feature of the Bristolian accent- we/they talk SO fast. It's hard to know what we're saying unless you're one of us..... I was shopping with my friend and her mum the other day and my friend bumped into someone she knew. My friend asked this person how her son was doing and she said 'oh, great, he's wormed now!' and I was like WHAT???!!!!! :shock::shock::shock: but then I realised she had said 'he's one now!' lol.... I've lived in Bristol nearly 20 years and it still never ceases to amaze me how weird they all talk...Jen the first video of the buns running is where i heard you talk for the first time, and i just love your accent. Although you would have to speak slow because if you where to speak fast it would sound like another language,lol.
