I mean you can call this whataboutery if you want but if you want to see real misogyny and sexism on these boards then take a look at some of the stuff aimed at Liz Truss, Suella Braverman and Kemi Badenoch.
Nope, not misogyny and sexism there - wrong focus. It's quite simple. Truss is as thick as pigshit and mad as a hatter. Braverman and Badenoch are just hateful right wingers desperate to fit in with the white kids. Braverman would deport her own parents if she could.

The misogyny and sexism has largely been aimed at Anglea Rayner because she's northern, ginger and stands up for herself.

Wow, AndyRM knows a number of swear words. And no doubt thinks he's big and clever using them against people who don't share his personal view.

I know loads more.

Some are written on my socks.

Accents are genuinely interesting. I might have been joking a bit, but if you were in regular contact with Sottish accents, I'd be surprised if you don't have a few bits of Scottishness lurking in your SE accent.

Me, I can't say 'cow' in a non-Devonian way (which is not entirely surprising, and somewhat amusing). 🤠

My mother was born in Surrey but went to Uni in Edinburgh and lived in Scotland for over 70 years. She never lost any of her Surrey accent.
I was reminded of this at her funeral last year by her former next door neighbour. He had been having a drinks party and his 4 year old was quizzing my dad.

"Why doesn't your house have a garage?"

"It does! Over the fence, with the big yellow door."

"Oh. Well why does your wife call it a gahraaahge?"

Much laughter from everyone in earshot, fortunately not including mum.

I only realised I said 'cow' in a 'funny' way when a young lad asked his dad what a 'küh' was (sorry, can't write phonetically the way I say it, but it's a but it's slightly like the German for cow. Don't ask me to say "How now, brown cow" with a posh accent).​
I spent a lot of time with farmers and bellringers with accents like this​

I didn't know she had a book to promote.
I read somewhere that it was a marriage of convenience. Whatever that means in the enlightened times of 2026. As such it would be reasonable to assume their finances were more or less totally separate.

Then she comes out with this sort of nonsense (BBC article linked above).

'She added that she had not questioned where the goods had come from and assumed they could be afforded as both she and Murrell were high earners'.

As well she didn't spend much time in the kitchen, which completely explains why she didn't notice all the new things.

I think that pretty much covers everything.

Since you asked, I could easily have hacked it in the various parts of Scotland where I grew up (Saltcoats, Dundonald, Troon, Dunoon, Glasgow and Edinburgh).

I live in North Shields because I went to Uni here.

I don't dodge any of my tax. Call that naive if you'd like to, but it isn't.

You'd be surprised about the affinity between the North East and Scotland.

Now I know you’re lying, I read The Dandy and The Jocks & The Geordies hated each other.

"Lavender marriage" is the term you're after, assuming you're still going down the same lame road others are enjoying.

I was discussing that very clip just yesterday. There are of course many more of the sisters' recordings. Of course their accent is a little different from that (those?) of Exeter or East Devon.

Yup, this is the South Devon accent. First time I heard it was when I went bellringing on holiday in the South Hams.
