Glazebrook

What with 65-75% of my family being from Liverpool on my dad's side (technically I'm 50% scouse), I have a Warrington accent but certain words seem to have a scouse twang.

My sister however seems to talk with a hybrid Bewsey/Manc accent, but she lives with a scouser.

I've lived in Manchester for over seven years, and my sister has lived in St. Helens for a similar amount of time. We grew up in Old Hall.

We both work in the same place (in Manchester) and people at work think I've got a Scouse accent and she hasn't. I know a lot of Scousers through supporting Liverpool and every single one thinks I sound like a Manc. A lad at work (from Salford) who supports United and has a couple of mates from Warrington who do tells me they talk Manc but he finds Liverpool/Everton fans from Warrington sound Scouse to him, even me with fairly long term Manchester residency.

It's a weird accent and no mistake.

Glazebrook - make it 6!

Warrington was not a major Roman town.The Romans only stopped to here to build an easy bridge at Bridgefoot ( made possible because of the shallowness of the water.) They were travelling to Deva ( Chester) from Colchester (forget name) and York (Ebor).

Warrington was known as Weirdton until the 18th century ims.

Latchford was where the brothels were in roman times. Not much has changed.

that Ikea advert saying we were in manchester got on my Moobs. Swedish s

Must admit when the county boundaries changed and we got kicked out of Lancashire I wish we'd gone into Merseyside rather than Cheshire.

Don`t class myself as living in Cheshire or being born in Lancashire. I`m a Warringtonian from Warrington. No denying we`re a different breed.

The warrington accent is very unusual, few years ago i was in newcastle and they told me i had a weird accent '' like i was from coronation street ''. My accent is weird goes from posh to my native orford twang in one sentence if i'm not carefull. I don't really like the chavvy twang though that sometimes comes out of some warringtonians mouths though it does depend which part of warrington you are from.

I'm the opposite. Obviously tell people I'm from Warrington, but having travelled a lot if people from other countries they where abouts it is, then I would always say near Liverpool. I find that it always generates a more positive reaction as well.

Always say i'm from Warrington, if people don't know it i say Manchester.

What gives me away with my accent is the way i say "where,were,wear, stair/stare, their/there"

it's werr, stir, the-rrr
