New - The things that really annoy you

Newsflash: To people not from the area we all sound the same

Having met a Geordie and a Brummie, you absolutely do not.

Those were the days my friend...

I grew up as a kid in the 60s and 70s in suburban Wednesfield and we could recognise the different accents and dialects in Wednesfield but also in new fangled and extended Wolverhampton. Bilston was different to East Wolverhampton was different to Old Village Wednesfield was different to Tettenhall was different to rural Penn. As for the variations within the Black Country.... Wow!

I will say that, without a doubt, most folks wouldn’t even know to think that they’re entirely different accents. By and large, everything just gets lumped in British (the laziest, obviously), English, Scottish, etc.

Bruised the palm of my hand again. It’s fucking painful.

The AI action figures thing, gone from quite cool to not a fucking nother one within a week.

Self service?

Self service?

I've been to a self service bar in Nottingham, which was pretty good to be fair. Although the confusion on some folks face was very fun to watch.
