To cut it short, most Foreigners can't understand a bloody word you Northerners are saying 
I find this is the case EVERYWHERE I GO!
e.g at Love Parade, If alex (Evil_Bastard) spoke normally, i.e with his Geordie accent and slang, most of the Germans and Dutch couldn't really understand him. Only when he spoke really slowly and clearly could they vaguely interpret what he was on about.
At Dancevalley, me and Nat met up with these 3 peeps from Middlesbrough, and she constantly agreed with everything they said etc, but when she had a spare mo, she siad, I can't understand half of what they are saying! LOL CAn't blame her tho! hehe
It was even pointed out in Germany by these blokes that they could easily understand me, but were having difficulty understanding alex.
Basically a clean London accent is what most Europeans/Americans study/understand/listen too in everyday media. By clean I don't mean people who are fucking pikeys who live on rundown estates, eating hard drugs for breakfast and running around in loincloths. (j/k with last comment lol)
I have a clean Lonodn accent and eveybody understands me perfectly, until I mumble, or come out with "ARSE, I LOST MY SODDING KEYS AT HOME, YA FUCKIN BUGGER, INNIT"
And on the subkject of accents, the worst accent to constantly listen to is the sorority/LA accent on women. ITS SOO BLOODY WHINEY!
And the best accent is most definately english with a Dutch accent, as Josta will tell you 
And Ian (Redeye) has the best English accent ever, trust me! |
You're right about evil bastard, but once I got the hang of his special language it wasnt any problem understanding him.
