I don't know if I'm losing my marbles or not.:confused: But sometimes when I visit here, I check out the pics .... just to eyeball some of the people who post regularly .... and it seems to me that you guys "look" Lancashire ... is it possible ... does it have something to do with the accent shaping the facial features? Or has living in the colonies for so long affected my brain:eek: Does anyone else see this, or is it just me?
 
`LOOK LANCASHIRE`.........? thats great.........................:D:D:D:D I don`t think Lancashire has a `LOOK` but thats made me laugh.....

Mmmm .... and what would those features be then ? .. be careful... :D

Of course, the way you form your every day speech does affect your facial muscles, same way as if you are a sour grapes. Laughter lines are a fact too.
Let's see your 'mush' ... we will compare... :D
 
Name names, then we'll tell you.:D

There is definitely a very local use of exagerated mouth movements, as examplified by Les Dawson and Roy Barraclough's Cissie and Ada.

It's all to do with working in t' noisey mills, when you had to mouth what you wanted to say to your workmates.

I can't really describe it ...

Anyway, I'm off to Montreal to watch the Canadiens play the Penguins ..... I'll check around the crowd to see if the folks there look French;)

And I'll see if I can find a pic that doesn't make me look like Jethro Tull's "Aqualung" .... :alright:

was once told that blokes fom Accrington were recognizable by being on average a bit taller than those in he surrounding towns , no idea if its true or not , it was just a passing statement said in a pub in Arrod ...... " Eh you lot lot fro Acc "
 
Here's a few Lancashire faces. What do you think?



They're from Wigan (Warrington), Oldham, Bury, Blackburn, Rochdale, Accrington and Wigan again. Is there a shared "look"?

Just in case you don't know, it's George Formby, Bobby Ball, Victoria Wood, Anthony Valentine, Gracie Fields, Jeanette Winterson and Frank Randle. :)
