Is this the worst Mancunian accent ever ??

Jodie Comer does a very good Manc accent in England Is Mine. She’s a Scouser in real life. I quite fancy her.

Regulars around me over the years have been from Farnworth, New Mills, Royton and Wigan. As there’s been lots of migration out of Manchester then I imagine City are in the family.

Man city clearly guilty of ticking the box here .....at least get a proper manc city fan who's been to games and not some random geezer who has no connection to the club at all
It's a bit like asking Bugzy Malone a big Man Utd fan to wear and advertise the city shirt hmmm hes not bothered $$$$ but the city media team are an embarrassment with this voiceover.
 
This is the embarrassingly cringeworthy video that was rammed down our throats pre-game until this season. It's a small part of the contrived 'match day experience' bollocks. I fuckin' hate our club trying to sell plastics the brand. It makes us look like ****s I think. And we still have to suffer hearing that proper **** Hugh Ferretface waffle HT shite in the stadium.

Sorry, rant over: /
 
Does anyone use terms like “Mam” and “Our Kid” in Manchester? I never heard it.

Yea of course. Most of my family who are from Manchester/surrounding areas say them.

I say mam, more then our kid, I’d say our ‘jack’ instead - (name instead of kid)

I say “Mam” and call my Sister “Our Claire”. My Dad and Uncle call each other “Our Kid”.

I share an office at work with a woman from Bolton and she always laughs at me for starting a sentence with “I” and ending it with “me”; “I bloody love that song, me”.

She says that it’s a Mancunian thing, she’s not heard it anywhere else.
 
I seriously didn’t know anyone who used the term “our kid” to describe their sibling. It was “bluvvoh” etc. If I heard anyone use it then I’d think they were trying to be Liam Gallagher and inevitably not local.

All my friends in my Clayton local were about as Manc as they came and I’d never hear them use these terms. As a developing writer, I take time to listen to what people say as it helps me with dialogue.

Pretty much all I ever heard where I grew up, my brother still calls me "our kid", the only time he doesn't is when he's talking about me, insert jokes here ---> but it will always start off with "our".
Anybody who called their Mam Mum, was considered a bit posh tbh, sometimes she'd be referred to as the KQ, but never in her presence, if you called your Mam Mother, M'ma etc, you'd likely get a smack for being a posh twat.

Can't help but feel, when Manchester starts to lose that particular dialect, it'll lose a little piece of it's soul for me.
 
Manchester is becoming gentrified and it’s part of the reason I can’t see myself living there again. I first went out in town as a student and my circle were from Newton Heath, Failsworth and Levenshulme. Not one remains in Manchester.

In my last office job I’d say 50% weren’t local whilst almost everyone was at CIS back in 2005.
