They are alive and kicking in England Astrid believe me.
I haven't heard many Yorkshiremen with that type of accent in fact I've never met one. Never met a geordie, a manc or a scouser with one either. I think you've been watching too many movies Astrid where this accent certainly does exist.

dodgeridoo: a fake indigenous artefact.
fair drinkum: good quality Aussie wine.
flatypus: a cat which has been run over by a vehicle.
shagman: an unemployed male roaming the Australian bush in search of sexual activity.
yabble: the unintelligible language of Australian freshwater crustaceans.
bushwanker: a pretentious drongo who reckons he's above average when it comes to handling himself in the scrub.
shornbag: a particularly attractive naked sheep.

I don't know if its "their bad" or not () but I hate it when I absent mindedly (probably my own invented word. Better own up now.) start reading an article in an interior design magazine (of ant brand, it seems)and it goes "Blah blah blah blah blah, she enthused"
Then I remember that no one buys these things for the articles anyway. I only like looking at the pictures.anne-maria.
