I love the Geordie accent more than any other Linda. I spend a lot of time in beautiful Northumberland, and always come home sounding like one of Catherine Cooksons characters!........Ange.

I love accents especially south country ones and northern Irish. Mine is from London where I was born and lived for most of my life.

Hi Indigo

I haven't the faintest idea what you are talking about!!

I never heard of my accent being 'amber nectar'. Just plain ordinary broad Yorkshire is more accurate.
