British Problems: A Guide To Being British

Problem 2: We have too many accents!

News Flash! We do not all sound like we have met the queen, now that accent is associated with the middle/upper class people of Britain. People like Boris Johnson.

I will give you a list of some of the accents that we have.

1. Cockney. (Basically Artful Dodger in Oliver Twist)

2. Bristolian. (Watch Hot Fuzz if you are not familiar with the accent, also this accent is in the West/East of England)

3. Scottish. (Fitz from Agents of Shield or Ground Keeper Willie if you want a stronger one)

4. Welsh. (Tom Jones, Steve Jones, Ruth Jones)

5. Yorkshire. (Now this one is different depending on what part of Yorkshire you live in)

6. Scouse. (Steven Gerrad's voice)

7. Geordie. (Just watch Geordie Shore!)

Accents are a big part of Britain as that is probably one of the biggest things that we will judge you on! Like if you have a Yorkshire accent and move down to London they will probably call you a commoner.

I'm not joking, I went to a University convention last week and there were these people from a private school there too and their accent was quite posh and they said the city Reading wrong, (they said it like reading when it's pronounced like redding) and me and my friends were literally judging them and I was ranting about it for a day. (I have a sad life okay)
