Mancs don't, really. For that you need to go up to Bolton and east Lancashire. Preston most of all Mark Owen from Oldham is one that I notice regularly. Plus my friend from Wigan. Yes, very different accents despite being only a few miles away. South Manchester accents don't roll their r's at all. Get someone from Bury to say "four care-bears". Mirth ensues. |

Hilarious Lancashire accents don't come much more hilarious than An accent he has maintained throughout 30 years living just round the corner from us here in south Cheshire. And having a Breton wife. |
