Most of us young folk don't have that accent anymore in Gloucestershire, or at least in Cheltenham. It sounds a little different now, maybe more like the Bristol accent. I do know a few old people who sound like this though, my step nan being one of them. I love it. I wish I had my old accent...
@tevyethemad I've always been fascinated by Cheltenham Pennsylvania, I've always been curious to know what its like in comparison to Cheltenham, Gloucestershire (UK) having grown up in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire
@FearlessRLC96 Probably similiar weather (it is currently quite damp and windy at the moment), but I'd imagine Cheltenham PA is much more suburban, the area I live in is known as Elkins Park, it was originally housing for workers going into Philadelphia to work at the fuel refineries. It's also most likely a tad more ethnically mixed, I live in Little Israel (so named for the high amount of Jews, myself among them) but there are also lots of Irish, Germans, Russians and Poles.
@tevyethemad ahaa the weather sounds very similar :L We get more rain than we do sun in Cheltenham in the UK :L We've got a large amount of Polish people living in Cheltenham Gloucestershire too. Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, Is a regency town and is very very pretty.
@FearlessRLC96 There is also a siginificant African American community here. But what's strange is while there are many ethnicities in a small area living is relative peace with each other, the area is still somewhat segregated, with clear Catholic, Polish, German, Jewish, Black and Russian blocs.
You should do. Better then trying to imitate South Easterners for fear of being ridiculed as seems to be the case with many younger people in Gloucestershire today.
@yoitsgino Not all Gloucestershire residents do, I'm a Gloucestershire girl and i do sound a little like that but having a mum who's from london and a Dad whos welsh my accent is weaker and more refined. Some Gloucestershire residents do sound like that though, my uncles and cousins have much stronger accents than me and they sound just like this.
I suggest you look for : "Six English Towns - Tewkesbury" on U - Tube not only does it give a history of the buildings in the Town but is well worth watching. My Late Grandmother was Born in Barton Street (the house is now - or was when I last went there ) a Gun Shop - her sister lived in the former "Star and Garter " inn - shown in the film. My Ancestors (de Clare's and Despensers) Are buried in The Abbey
Lol i live in gloucester and always have no one sounds like that:L
