The tower block was known as the "Rocket", was in Dunston, but, it's been knocked down now. Same bloke that designed it, did the "Get Carter" multi story car park in Gateshead, which has also been knocked down.

I've read what you've posted and just posted on that, you mentioned Welsh accent and did not state which Welsh accent or area you were specifically referring to.

So from this I deduced that you were referring to Wales as a whole, it would be like me stating that all English people speak like they are from Essex.

No I did not break it down geographically because I have no ides whether it is geographic, but as I clearly said in my experience it belongs usually to short bald men who are very pro Wales, a little bit anti English and are generally very full of themselves and overly loud such that the accent sounds over exaggerated and a bit slly. If that is the whole of Wales then fine, but I have definitely seen some women there for instance so I doubt it is :brickwall:brickwall

Personally, I any accent north of NG5 grates on me.

I live in the NG15 postcode. Have to agree with you completely. The Mongsfield/Skegby/Sutton/Kirkby/Huthwaite accents are plain shocking........

Surely no one takes the welsh accent seriously,

And when I hear the scousers accent my first thought is "have I locked my car"

Geordies, OK (in a call centre) but would not want my daughter marrying one

My Welsh mate mike used to have a party piece.He would sing 'Born to be Wild'
in a broad Welsh accent.One of the funniest things I ever heard.
Wish I had it recorded as it would have been an instant internet hit.:lol1:

Yewth...LOL, I spent two years at college in south Nottingham, one of my best mates was Mansfield-born, and we all picked that one up.

Not sure which sets my teeth on edge more, the southerners who say stuff like, "Stew new new Geoff!" when they mean "Still nil-nil", or the ones who insist that almost every "a" must be drawled, so we get "marst, farst, larst, parth, barth...but maths, NOT marths"

They make it up as they go on.

Now then, give me a Doncaster accent any day:

"Astle clowtthi ifthidunt giower"
"Azigeniter?"
"Ooworriwi? Worriwiissen?"
"Corforus arpastate intmornin".
