It was my cousin who was brought up in Edgeley. Trying to reproduce the accent in type is nigh on impossible, but it's a close approximation to how I heard it. It was the terminology that threw me, this was forty odd years ago.I'm born and bred in Stockport and still live here now. I can honestly say that I've never in my life heard anyone talk like that.
Whenever I'm out and about with work I'm always referred to as a manc because of my accent. This despite my accent being nothing like a lot of people I know who are born and bred mancs. I do agree that the Stockport accent is totally different and I'm reminded alot from native mancunians.
Apparently I'm posh lol
Withington hospital for me..Does that count?I was born within sight of Platt Lane . I have over the years tried to adopt a BBC accent but nowt I says sounds proper.
Yes. Sometimes, when we've recorded rehearsals and listen back to them, if I hear my voice between songs it makes me cringe.Has anyone ever listen to themselves on a video or similar clip. I cringe when I hear myself and think...what do other people think !!. I sound awful.
My arse
Aha, I should have put St Mary’s for a true Mancunian! :-)We’ll I’m very proud to have been born in St. Mary’s Hospital on Oxford Road and recognised as a true Manc.
Maybe Edgeley had a few hills in fields back then. From my experience other than rows of terraced houses it has a park and castle street for a fight on a Saturday night (or any other night, or afternoon for that matter.)It was my cousin who was brought up in Edgeley.
