Liverpool accents, easy on the ear? Haha, My housemate from Grimsby's complained that she can't understand my friend who's got a Scouse twang, let alone a full blown accent! Interestingly they say the Scouse accent is influenced by the Irish accent due to all the Irish immigrants that settled there (my great-grandparents included), so maybe you wouldn't have much difficulty understanding Scousers.Hipsy_Gypsy said:
For some reason i can't help but read this in some sort of weird Yorkshire accent. o.0
Well there's the usual special exhibits and church services in memory of those who died, including the unveiling a memorial...but interestingly i remember reading in the Liverpool Echo that they've done a "Titanic themed cruise"...wherever that features a Scouser shouting "Aw mate, look at that big fuckin' iceberg lad!" from the crows nest moments before ploughing into it i know not.
Sorry to hear you still get bomb scares in Northern Ireland btw, i don't envy you for putting up with that shit at all.
