Yeah Scone Palace or the Stone of Scone too.

IT WAS WHAT IT WAS.
"IF you don't leave now, there is no going back."
"I don't want to go back."
"Ask Me to stay"
"Stay"

I'm Bath (Baaatthh) born and bred, and am a scone to rhyme with gnome, cone, stone type of person.

How do you do.

I like Bath, it's nice.

I have a house in Chilcompton you know. It's up for sale if you know anyone?

Bath clearly has an extended A. It's pronounced bahth.

Well given it's in Somerset, you say that with a Worzel accent and you know how wrong you are.

Baff, I can live with, BAHHTH is really what the people from London who live there call it.

Shower > Bath.

Even when talking about pronouncing things. Get someone with an Ulster access to say "Power Shower", it's class.

I think you're thinking of Glaswegian 'worm', they say it like "wurum". Cos they're fools. Ask Foots.

Yeah, we do. It's more or less a two syllable word here.

Well I had a mate from Arbroath, and he said Worrum, and it was really funny trying to get him to say worm, it came out as kind of woooomb, which was obviously * hilarious!

I liked it on Top Gear when Clarkson got the Glaswegian to say "burglar alarm".

I've just said "wurm" about ten times to check. As far as I can tell, it's only got one syllable.

That must've got you some odd looks. Got to agree with you though, my wurm is only one syllable long. A girl in the office does, however, pronounce warm with 2 syllables. Never tried her worm but I assume it would produce the same outcome.

Too right. Whoever started this myth that people in the north are friendly is a bloody liar. Either that or he had conveniently missed Sheffield from his travels.

Ha - no its not, I always wind up my Sheffield relatives by referring to it as Midlands - you have NO idea how much they hate that! But it is in Yorkshire, which is what Boboff was actually talking about. It was me that wrongly introduced the Northern element.

Actually, I genuinely don't know how you judge "up north" and "down south" in England. It probably is because you're all down south to me, but I've never been able to figure out where the line is.
