observer Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Bloke stops me on Manchester Rd (opp Cemetary), and says "wulaston"; I says "what?"; and he just kept repeating "wulaston"; so methinks he's either a nutter or foreign; so I says "Woolston" and he nods his head; so I points down the road in a easterly direction and says "it's about 2ml, your best catching a bus"; but he was away, walking to wulaston. Wonder how he managed the job interview, if wulaston was all he knew in English ?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Sid Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Whatever you do don't go to leigh or wigan then, some of the accents in those areas would make a glaswegian docker sound like the old fashioned BBC news reader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
