I've always been able to understand accents no matter where I am. When No1 son was living with his then girlfriend in Alnwick, we went up to visit. I was the only one who could understand her mum. She had a really gruff voice, like a Geordie Bonny Tyler. Heavily accented and she spoke very quickly. Even James and his woman were surprised I could understand her. I have no problem with the local accent here either.
I do find accents fascinating, especially the way they change in such a small geographical areas. All the locals round here call people from Sheffield Dedahs, because they say "dee" and "dah" instead of "thee" and "thar".
I'm quite good with accents over all, having lived in various places growing up, but 2 yam yams talking to the uneducated ear mate is as tough as anywhere in the country for me, ridiculously fast and with so many words changed, fucking inbred cunts do it so others cant chat them up and pollute their gene pool, that they seemingly try and keep as small as possible. Salt of the earth, but weird inbreeds all the same.
