Do you pronounce the “h” in “when”? Do you say “action” like “ack-tsi-on”? Do you trill your “r”s? If not, you’re suffering from the same “speech defect” that these lads are: normal phonological change! The absolute horror

Lancashire covers a large area and thus displays a range of accent and dialect from Manchester to Lancaster. As you travel from Preston towards Lancaster there occurs a very noticeable change from the well known and generally accepted Lancashire accent exemplified by such people as George Ford the rugby player to an accent more akin to that of the Lake District and North West Yorkshire. It is quite distinct from that found south of Preston. I think of my family members and others who were born and brought up in Lancaster and how 'rural' and 'countrified' their speech was and is. I was born in Lancaster but moved away at the age of 11. So, my attempts to speak the way they do in Lancaster, Morecambe and further north fail miserably. I have no doubt that you recognized and acknowledged these differences.

Just to clear somethings up, for one not all of the north east talk with a Geordie accent, Sunderland has the Mackem most famously but there is also the Durham and Northumberland accent which is most often a subtler Geordie or general northern accent with more of a north east twang. I can understand almost everything Geordies say with being from county Durham but the word for spider was a new one for me. That shows that even though England is relatively small compared to lots of other countries that words spoken can change even if it is only 10 or 15 miles along the road.

@@goonerbeagunner4life no it wouldn't, the point of a language is to be able to communicate well with others lol when accents are so different that even other natives can struggle to understand, you know you have a problem! Also, it's a nightmare for ESL learners like me. English is hard enough on its own (what's taught at schools and courses is almost nothing like the English spoken on a daily basis by natives, and don't forget the absurd disparity between written and spoken English), when you add the truckloads of accents into the equation, it becomes even more of a hell. I find it funny that my country is way bigger than the UK and still it's rare to come across accents so thick you struggle to understand.. that's not to say there aren't regional accents, in the contrary, there are dozens of them but the differences are subtle enough (as it should be) that you don't think they are speaking a different language altogether.

MLE speakers only "just" started having kids? I first heard it around the year 2000 in London (it wasn't called that, but it wasn't cockney or estuary), by people in their 20s then (some had kids then!) Most of the people I knew speaking it lived in South (Sarf) London, around Lewisham, so maybe it was more localised then. It also sounded a tiny bit more cockney, maybe, but people were definitely saying "tings" and not "fings" for "things" - from their parents that were born overseas. I didn't notice any white people with that accent back then, but definitely plenty of working class/lower middle class white people use it now, so maybe that's what's changed most in the last 20 years

The borders of the county haven't changed, this is a very widespread misconception. The administrative boroughs changed. You'll find that Lancashire is still recognised by the royal mail as its original border.

You are a cunning linguist and mass-debator,. The biggest attack to the Lancastrian accent is in Liverpool where the Scouse accent is replacing the old Lancashire accent . The Beatles used the old Lancashire accent, for example "Over there" as opposed there "Over there!". Scouse needs culling.
