Shopping at Lidl

Nonu, what I meant was,do you have to have an english accent to do voice overs?

Not at all !!!
I was just saying "what gets on my pip " !
I AM allowed !

hmm

Personally I love Scottish accents - so soothing! But not into Lidl or Aldi

Apparently a Scottish accent inspires confidence.

Well each to his own . It is refreshing !
Off out now as we are having a late lunch .[Fully booked before }
All enjoy your afternoon .
maybe see you later . If I don"t have too much [tchwine].

Bye !

Where is your 'pip', Nonu?

Let's hope none of the waiters are Scottish

I think it is downright racist to make disparaging remarks about a Scottish accent. Would you have the same objection to a Jamaican accent nonu?

Given that Lidl and Aldi are German perhaps you would prefer a German accent?

Oh, for goodness' sake, Nonu was only expressing a personal opinion! Let's not get too het up about it...

I took my Scottish accent to Lidl this afternoon and nobody seemed to object. Bought everything I needed and a few things I didn't need.

Ana, I'm sure Nonu can take a bit of teasing!

It just balances out all the Estuary English ads that are shown all over the country. Vive la difference, Nonu!

Hope you had a guid lunch Nonu.

Does anybody else hate that breath-y voice that says "It has our nime on it...W-i-ckes" ?
Or the man who shouts "I'm Barry Scott and blah blah blah *Cillit Bang*"
Or "Mum's gorn to Oiceland" (actually not sure they do that one any more.)

I do like the nice Welsh (?) dinner lady who "doesn't like children" (Aldi/Lid.?) however.

Pip pip!

I DID agus. Went on for two hours . 6 of us .
They all came back here and after a little siesta and a cuppa decided to have some card games AND a little wine .
So all in all a good time was had by all.
I do so like spontaneous things , don"t you .

Back to "haircutting now "

wanted to put .

soutra isn't the Wickes voice that of Timothy Spall? (Excellent actor)

Oh if it is - I agree he is, but he just sounds so sort of "sleazy" He reminds me of one of the less savoury Eastenders types!!!

Even if it is Timothy Spall, the delivery still gets up my nose! I think the dreadful man who used to shout about double glazed windows seems to have taken his leave.

Oh, that was a long lunch Nonu you would indeed need a siesta after that. Slainte

The worst voice I can think of is one who used to tell you about the wonderful films that would be showing soon. i can't remember which channel as I blocked him out of my ears. He would tell you of children's films in a sexy tone that sounded like a paedophile licking his lips.

Lunch? - we used to call it " mah denner" Lynda Snell would have found us Scots so uncouth!

And that would have earned you a wrap on the knuckles from the teacher Soutra for saying mah instead of my/aye instead of yes. Happy days eh?
So many children hearing one language at home then being punished for repeating it in school

"Uh-huh" was the version of "Yes" that got a clip round the ear both at school and at home. I still catch myself doing it and look round guiltily!!
More seriously I believe that being "bilingual" i.e. broad Scots with the friends in the playground, "educated Scots" at home and in the classroom could well have been the foundation for my later study of languages. Children are so very adaptable aren't they?
