After the rush to Liverland, two days ago, I saw I'd misread the calendar. So we had a day off, yesterday.😂
Today we descend the Stanley flight into the #Liverpool docks. These locks, pictured, are broad beam (wide), so we're awaiting a boat to join us, to conserve water and share the work.
The #CRT volunteers speak #Scouse, so lots of repetition with some of them, trying to understand even basic topics like the weather. 🌞
Ellie Phillips:
"As a TV presenter, I’ve been told to tone down my Scouse accent countless times.
I love my accent, but I hate that I can be discriminated against because of it. That some people truly think being a Scouser means I must be unintelligent or incapable"
When people make fun of the way you speak, right in front of you, it’s difficult not to be affected. It was the first time I realised that the way I spoke was looked down on." https://inews.co.uk/opinion/tv-presenter-scouse-accent-countless-times-2535894 #Scouse#Liverpool#accents
