Driving in Newcastle with a Southern accent.


Suppose it is rather strange being able to speak perfect English.


Perfect English? Surely that would be without a funny accent and I have to say southerners do have a funny accent and they tend to be somewhat loud IMO :lol: and yes Chris that would another one :lol:


Its funny as to how we perceive people to be; I have always thought/found, that the further north you go, then people tend to be more open/fun....sometimes interpreted as extrovert/loud, and then ; As you go South, they tend to be more reserved/less fun.....sometimes interpreted as stuffy/aloof :?

Every single person from up here in Newcastle is fantastic company in my car.


But as soon as they have a belly full of Smith Ale.

The wind changes and you are crossing your fingers as to whom it will be next.

Life is all about the experiences you have and I'm sure for the most part it's fun in Newcastle but it's a bit rich them saying you have a funny accent :lol: :lol:

My client base is approximately half Taxicards (subsidised fares for elderly and disabled) and half drunks. I can honestly say I much prefer the drunks

It's kind of ironic, when you consider they invented the English language but you can't find a a taxi driver who actually speaks it. #-o :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
