Funny Geordie Monologue by Gary Hogg (via Amblethwaite)
The speech accent archive made me remember my very short stay in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne many years ago. I was there for a sports trip and we stayed with school families.
We were there three days and for the first day and a half all I remember doing was apologising and asking my host family to please repeat themselves slowly.
I was (relatively) fine by the third day, but when I spoke to my family on the phone my sister insisted I was sporting a Geordie accent.
By golly they were fun though.
