It is, yes. A familiar face for anyone who lived, or is living, in the ITV Calendar region.Is that Christine Talbot doing the interview?
For someone to say BARTH instead of BATH should be labelled as a criminal offence !!!!.
Please explain to this uninformed American. What is Oasis Manc.?Accents are strange. I was born in Manchester but my upbringing emphasised good vocabulary so I've been told I'm posh Manc. as opposed to Oasis Manc.
Oasis are a Rock band from Manchester. The two main people are Noel and Liam Gallagher and their accent isn't exactly awful but my grandmother and mam would describe it as a tad rough. Google any Oasis, Liam or Noel interviewPlease explain to this uninformed American. What is Oasis Manc.?

Absolutely. My original words were about the difference between the so called Posh Manc and Oasis Manc. I was being humorous although within areas there are differences in clarity regarding accents. For example Ozzy Osborne for instance spoke quite broad brum but Tony Iommi spoke with more clarity (posh). My buddy speaks very much like Liam Gallagher and we were both born in Manchester. I find it interesting and amusing, and not to be taken seriously.I think its far better to stick to your roots and speak the dialect you have spoken and listened to since birth , cannot stand people who almost look down on people who talk with an accent, many of who have forgotten their birthplace and effect an accent to disguise their real voice , love the way Brian Johnson of AC/DC never forgot his roots and talks with the same accent he was born with unlike others from my region .
