Wee, well spotted! I've edited the post, so it should be sorted once the mods pick it up.

"All the south of England 'yokel' accents kind of sound the same to me. Portsmouth sounds about the same as rural Oxfordshire."
Yeah, I reckon it's a mix of west country yokel and cockernee knees-up, which would makes sense given the geographical location. My accent tends to veer all over the place, depending upon who I'm talking to, but whenever I go to Birmingham I get asked which part of London I'm from.
"It's all that eyetse-aieee-ed (outside) or teyee-elet (toilet)."
Spot on. It's a bit more tense, or strained, than yer full on yokel. It's like someone trying to chivvy a rodent through the gap under a door before anyone notices, and they've hit upon the idea of making their mouth take on the same shape as the gap, and talking aggressively, in the hope that it will actually blow the animal through. |
