    O/T differences in dialect, accent and phrases in the Rotherham borough

    A mate at work claims he can tell differences in speech between areas of Rotherham and even went as far as saying he could tell a Kimberworth accent from a Thurcroft one.

    Not sure if I can although I do hear words pronounced differently on occasions, especially in villages on the outskirts of Rotherham. There are also seems to be the odd word and phrase which is particular to certain areas.

    Just wondered if the punters on MM can hear differences and if so what are they?

    People in rougher areas tend to have thicker accents that's the only difference really.
