Quote: Dougy "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

Quote: richardviking "Who gives a flying **** where Widnes or St Helens is.

To those using 'scouser' in the context you do is little less than racism.
To those from Widnes who deflect the town's links with Liverpool are just as bad.

Back on topic, I wish Cullen all the best, he's done some great things for the club imo.'"

Quote: roversmad "Funny that. I met a Widnes fan on holiday this year and, he certainly sounded like a Scouser To your ear, maybe. I lived in London for many years and was often accused ( especially by American business people ) of being 'from Liverpool' even though I'm Warringtonian. There are overtones of accents all around the area you grow up in, and you get elements in them in your own speech pattern. No Liverpudlian would mistake a Widnes or Warrington 'accent' for a scouse one.

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. icon_smile.gif

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. icon_smile.gif

Quote: morleys_deckchair "

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.'"

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.

Guess where.
Scousers are from Liverpool, which is Lancashire. Birkenhead is Cheshire so technically she is right. Although the accents are basically indistinguishable from each other.

St. Helens and Widnes have very similar accents but sound nothing like scouse. Search 'Doug Laughton talking out his backside' on youtube.
