babspanky Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 its the accent for the people who live by the sea. But the sea/coast is big? Here you will have a different accent if you live by the sea in Cornwall, than if you live by the sea in the North East, etc? Not just one accent for coast dwellers!
