When people add an "r" in the word "saw" as in "I sawr that". It's moronic.

I'm sure it wasn't your intention but as someone who has a westcountry accent and has been given grief for it for decades and struggled to be accepted at work and at university  because of it, this post seems condescending to me. 

Suitably apt for this thread at least then.

All part of VT Patronising Week. 

Seriously, I'm married to a Devon lass, and so is one of my best (Brummie) mates. When we get together, the four of us continually take the piss out of our own accents.

Rightfully so, Norfolk, West Country, Walsall, surely all accents are fair game. Not individuals, but the accent.

You had sex with this man, didn't you? 

Nearly.

I was working. And straight. As was he.

Still gave it a damned good go though.

Yeah, if I ever heard that, ever in my life it would piss me off.

Can't believe you've got the nuts to come on a forum mainly populated by Brummies and post that 😂🤣😂

My mother is making me irrationally angry at the moment. 

Her neighbour is called Charlotte. 

For some reason she pronounces is SharLOT, with a heavy emphasis on the LOT. 

I don't know why she does it and I don't know why it annoys me but it does.

The Brummie accent is supposedly seen as dull and working class. The South West one is seen as uneducated, rustic and backwards. They both suck.

At least you get some interesting characters in films and TV though. All we get is either Pirates or Doc Martin.

Let's not make this an argument about which accent is worse though. That'd be like two kid's arguing that they're fatter and uglier than the other.

We both lose. 

Could be worse though, we could be Scouse.
