Well HR .. the thing is us Lancashire folk are not very good at diphthongs ya' see .. our dialect is made up of very flat vowels.

Coat should not be pronounced as .. cawt, but as cohut .. not quite correct, but no pronunciation symbols available, words like day turn into daaa not dayi .. oh hek, so difficult in text Sure you understand. Worst culprit is words like 'like'. Have noticed that you have very strong verbal diphthongs in your accent and can understand the confusion, but hell, as long as we all understand each other what does it matter...

Sure the ref. understands exactly what you mean when you shout Dumbo or summat .. LOL
