Interpreters required.

[Raffles]

In a recent thread on the forum some of the less intelligent members slated the dulcet tones of Barnsley folk and voted Scousers as having the worst accent in the UK. At least the Barnsley tykes and the Scouse gits dont need interpreters to be understood. Unlike these peeps!

Meh.

Non-story. Some one from Latvia doesn't understand the lingo, there's a surprise. Looks like it's just slang terms anyway, you get that type of thing all over the country. I don't suppose a weedgian could understand much of the slang used on London's streets.

Good advertising for the company though...

Hee Hee quite a funny story. I can understand how she might find it hard to understand but most of it is just slang or local colloquialisms.
Although I would say that Doric (North East Scotland) is harder to understand than Glaswegian Scots.
Still doesnt make it a bad accent that award goes to Barnsley


Anyway the biggest part of that article is that she went to Lanark on holiday! WTF!

I'm not hugely well travelled, but I've not been anywhere in the UK were I've failed to understand what the indigents are saying.

That said, I've never been to Barnsley.

That would be pronounced BaarnSleh..

Upon entering the pie shop, the lady in her inimitable eloquence, requested "a Plain Pie and an Onion Pie as well please."

That by the way, is Dundonian.

Don't worry about IQ raffles you live in Barnsley, it's unlikely to be needed in everyday life "workin dahn t'pit"

I find strong Glaswegian accents fine to understand, once I've 'tuned in' to it.

Lose concentration for just a second, and I'm lost!!!
