Calling all Rov'rum residents
I've been asked to help a few friends currently at university to make a video of some sort, and it requires me to have a decent Rov'rum accent, so basically, I'm asking for any advice on what I need to do to "speak prop'leh".
The kinds of thing I'm looking for are advice on how to make the vowel sounds (I know this varies from town to town in Yorkshire - t'other day I apparently spoke as if I was from Goole, of all places), what kinds of sayings are popular there - needs to be convincing obviously, so yeah - and anything else you think would help really.
Thanks in advance,
J

Rotherham Accent depends if you've got tits or a cock, women speak exactly same as a dee darr, where as men are a mix of dee dar and normal Yorkshire

It's been a long time since I last spoke to a Rovrumite on a regular basis but the thing that struck me was that the blokes called each other "flower"

Btw all the lasses seem to speak Deedar in a deep, croaky voice as if they're on 40 fags a day.
I suggest a quick visit to Denaby (yes very quick!) to tune your ear in to the dialect and get out as soon as you can.
