It’s a take of our beloved, but confused, Widnes accent.

From now onwards he will be doing an exceptional impression of Lord Lucan.

Not funny really.

Well, I do have a strange sence of humour. I'll laugh at most things.


Obviously not Widnes Robin/Jiffy though. He is just a cock.

Fair play mate, wasn't having a pop just not my cup of tea.

Well, I suppose the Liam Gallagher Manc has been done to death by Soccer am, but the fact the lad playing the Scouser has taken it upon himself to look more Scouse, by wearing a blonde wig and painting his cheeks red, I found very funny. I don’t know why he thinks that makes him look more like a Scouser, but at least he never went for the tired old shell suit and perm-wig gag.

Instead of just taking the out of the Widnes accent, they used both pure Manc and Scouse as a metaphor for the mishmash nature of the Widnes accent. Personally, I think that the Widnes accent owes very little to the Manc accent and only has a passing resemblance to Scouse. It mostly comes from our northern boarders. It should really have been a St Helener and a Scouser, but that wouldn’t have provided the comic yin and yang of the Scouse-Manc approach.

The whole thing wasn’t funny, but certain bits were, imo.

i take your points pepe. but still, there seems to be some confusion here between a fake scaly 'In' Widnes and 'THE' Widnes accent. if anything they are both displaying fine examples of the basterdised runcorn accent

I get ripped in work for my Widnes accent, i think Widnes folk just say words differently because were special

Film = Filum
Four = Fower

Classic examples of the Widni accent

ive noticed my family all say symmetry when the mean cemetary aswell. cant be sure if thats a widni thing or just specific to my 'Spesh' family members.
then again, im widnes born and bred and i dont pronounce either of vikingmans examples like that
