I genuinely love accents. Each & every accent is made by the history of its place.

A student I was teaching referred to the Colosseum in Rome as "one of they gert gladiater rings"

When we moved to Keynsham (just up the road from Bristol) in the 1970s, i remember someone in church reading from the 'book of Isaiahl'. It still makes me smile now, after 50 years

Historically it was written Bricstow. First instance with a final L dates from 1204. So the dialect appears to have driven the orthography

The old girl 20 secs in is classic bristol. I don't mean the accent, which she is, but that jutting of the jaw, obvious belligerence, yet still remaining passive-aggressive when she realises the posh lad is taking the piss is the sound of my childhood.( I love this video, but that blokes solo bits to camera are all up the hill near the bbc studios and bridge, only going into broad mead for the vox.)

It's slowly going as generations change. Older Bristolians still have a twang but its getting less and less. If you walk around Easton or St Pauls you might get a Bristolian al added on your Jamaican patois. Bristol is cultural melting pot so the accents change but its all good fun

The stigmatising well under here. This time done in a humorous, patronising way. No other region (even Birmingham) has been so effectively stripped of its regional identity. You do still hear a ghost of the accent now amongst older residents, but none of the dialect. 50-60 years of having anything “Bristolian” repeated back in an exaggerated manner, means only any socially unaware young people still grow up with the accent. And even then, will be judged by their city folk who don’t. 😢

It's still around in some ways. All my older family members have very strong Bristolian accents, and parts of that have been passed down but some of it has been lost. My northern friends all say I have a very noticeable Bristolian accent but compared to my grandpa it's nothing.

It's a sexy accent.

No, the accent and dialect are stymatised. Programmes like this helped that. They’re mocking. You still hear it here & there, on older people. Or younger who aren’t socially aware. It’s socially acceptable to mimic any use the accent in an exaggerated way, to the users face. So that they know it is wrong. Nowadays the accent is a mix of received pronounciation moderated with Estuarine (London) characteristics. Think Dermot O’Leary or Lily Allen. Hence it not being heard in Skins.

These people are perfectly literate, that's how they're reading. I think it's kinda sad we all speak the same now, the variety of accents were a wonderful bit of local culture, a bit of spice to communication, something to share and learn about when you travel.
