pattricia Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Have you ever heard the Sheffield accent HappyHoosier ?
HappyHoosier Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Have you ever heard the Sheffield accent HappyHoosier ? Sort of... I mean, not in a face-to-face conversation. I've heard Sean Bean in interviews. I've seen "When Saturday Comes" and "The Big Monty." The latter, of course, featured a Scotsman playing a Sheffielder, although I read Robert Carlyle's accent was pretty good. Oh, and I've heard Sharpsinger singing.

Sean Bean sounds just like us Sheffielders. My sister lives in Connecticut, and when I went over they couldnt understand what I was saying.

Sheffielders probably couldn't understand a Yank in their midst, either. Everyone in America thinks their way of talking is the standard and that people from other regions have the accents. I definitely don't have an accent -- but people from Connecticut sure do! I'm one of those gits (mentioned on this forum before!) who turns on the English subtitles when I'm watching British movies.
Agent Orange Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Agent Orange and anyone else: I would be delighted to play host to Sheffield Forumers who find themselves in the Hoosier state. Ax murderers need not apply. Wouldn't mind going on a road trip across the states and if I ever do, I will be sure to come knocking and waving the Sheff Forum flag
