Anyone writing 'tho' should not really comment on other people's language though. ;-)
I've heard plenty of people on this very forum complain about people saying Birminun etc... it's infuriating. But seemingly because it's a woman, everyone is jumping to her defence.Joe Cole does it for example and gets pelters for it on here.Fine. I think she is a poor broadcaster and not up to the job. And not because of the way she speaks. (Tho I still find it annoying)I hope that's cleared that up now and we can move on.

It’s a bit rum to mention her accent though. Most of the people using this forum will have faced prejudice about their regional accent (more than people from most other areas). It’s not helpful to judge people on something so unimportant.
Haha. No actually it's because I'm an impressionist.

It’s not helpful to judge people on something so unimportant.And most people on this forum will probably have taken the piss out of people from Liverpool, Manchester and London for their accents at some point or another.
Actually Brazilian Portuguese is quite tough as it happens. To make it not sound Portuguese I mean.

Still had time for Danny Murphy to discuss Liverpool. Not to mention this headline. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cn02gdl9wyvo
Can you do Perpignan and Montpellier accents in French AG?
