Sounds as though these assumptions are based on Cilla Black, Jimmy Tarbuck etc who are about as Scouse as Hitler. Disgraceful.

No it wasn't. It was insulting.

Give over, Nick! (And look in any book on English accents for a reference to the Square-Nurse merger.)

OK, back to the topic!

Ah well. If it's in a textbook it must be OK then.
The system will not allow me to record my true response to such slurs.

The idea of Hitler being Scouse is captivating. It would have given the Nuremberg rallies quite a different feel, wack!

Perhaps John the Baptist was a Brummie [moving swiftly back to topic].

Yes, totally different feel as, according to the comments on here, his testimony would have been quite incomprehensible.

That's not Brummie. Perhaps our linguisticist might care to comment.

Indeed, that was Yam-yam. From the Black Country, manufacturers of everything from the Titanic's anchor chain to the England football manager.
