I think it is interesting how the welcome in Suffolk is 'Are yer alright' with the sentence becoming higher in tone at the end.  When I first moved away from the town, some people thought I was Australian.  As all statements I seemed to make rose at the end such as 'Do you want a cup of tea? which had my new work colleagues rolling around the floor laughing! 
My sister has now moved to Australia and her girls have picked up the Australian accent really easily. 
Now I have lived away for several years I can hear the similarities myself.  'As a rum ole do, I can tell yer'  Smiley

The heading for this topic is incorrect.
There is no such word as 'pronounciation'
The correct spelling is PRONUNCIATION.



We like Snowdrop, so we give her the benefit of the doubt Robbie!!

For me, the most infuriating mispronunciations today would have to be:

lars-snite, and the smorning

Gourd 'elp us....

I didn't think there was a single word in Lowestoft that ended with ..ing. You need to take the G off and replace the I with a U
