Widnes is becoming more and more scouse all the time... My friend lives there, has done all his life, he has 3 children, all boys, 7, 11, 14.... They all go to school in widnes, play rugby in widnes, support widnes....ALL of them have a scouse accent.

if you speak with a scouse accent, you're a scouser.. It doesnt matter where you live or what your phone number is. Your ACCENT is the thing that defines you.

Well i have been living in Widnes for a long time and my family, and non of us have scouse accents.Even know Scousers living in Warrington too. Soon Scousers be taking hold of Wire.

Ironic that somebody from Warrington calls Widnesians scousers!

To my ears Warringtonians sound scouse. And where i'm from we call Warringtonians scousers, well plastic scousers with St Helens.

I can't say that I've heard any folk from Warrington speaking with what I'd call a scouse accent. I used to visit there regularly as we had one of our offices located near the Causeway, occasionally grabbing lunch out the office I didn't notice any scouse accents. I'm sure there are people out there who speak with more of a regional inflection than others even if they live next door to each other and that dialect will bleed into fringes of other areas due to population migration and who people associate/socialise with.
Certainly the way I pronounce my vowels changes after being back in Hull a few days though it soon gets to normal once I get back over the Southern softy borders..lol

I am a Scouser living in Warrington our family too.It fun as more Scousers the better. Not really but got a few mates who are Scousers living in Warrington.I enjoy winding the Wire up.I take Brucies job from him.

It's all Lancashire if you ask me, even Liverpool. We are all Lancastrians.

Very old friend of mine, originally from Widnes, has lived in Canberra for more than 30 years. Still sounds like a Widnesian to me. No way could he be considered a scouser. His wife, on the other hand, who is a scouser (from Everton), sounds like an Aussie.

I'm a scouser btw.

Don't be mistaken,
Dont be mislead,
I'm not a scouser,
I'm from Birken'ead

Sounds even funnier in a scouse accent

A nurse at a hospital in Bristol which my missus attends every few months has a distinctive scouse accent. Wife, whose own scouse accent is much diluted after not living there for about 50 years, asked if she was from Liverpool. No, she says, I'm from Cheshire.

Guess where.

Nonesense. My two children were born while I lived in London, at the Mile End and London Hospitals respectively. They are both technically real Cockneys ( born within the sound of Bow Bells ). Needless to say, neither of them has a 'Cockney' ( which most notherners for misread as 'London' ) accent, as we did not live long in the area after their birth. They are still, however, Cockneys without accents.

Wire fans calling Widnes scouse, the nerve eh

The press called it the Merseyside Derby when you played each other recently and we all know Wires connections with Liverpool, so your all scousers ho hum.
