Examples

“The Scouses, not known for their wit, responded with the 'Munich runway' chant. And, golly gosh, nearly the whole stadium sang back. Who knows, this chanting might really take⟳ off one day.”

“The soft and friendly version of the Scouse accent has helped to turn⟳ Liverpool into Britain's favourite location for call⟳ centres.”

“Unsurprisingly, given the geography of the area, Liverpool’s scouse isn’t dissimilar to Irish stew or Lancashire hotpot, either, and, like⟳ those noble dishes, is eminently practical, easy to make⟳ in a small kitchen, or indeed a galley, and to adapt to current circumstances – there’s even a vegetarian variant, blind scouse, for when you can’t, or won’t, run⟳ to meat.”

“But my favourite accent is to be found in Belfast; a Northern Irish accent immediately adds three points to a person’s attractiveness. It has the friendliness of scouse, but is much softer and more charming.”
