Manchester isn't really "North"...

Some trendy folk try to sound cool by dropping their Ts so "whatever" becomes "wha'ever" and "bottle" becomes "bo'le" but they come unstuck on longer words with multiple Ts.

I've also noticed that the cool way to pronounce -er is to say -oh, so "brother" becomes "bruvvoh" and "mother" becomes "muvvoh".

That's a very Mancunian/Salfordian way of pronunciation....Manchestoh

Or the rising intonation ? at the end of every sentence ? as if each were a question? I noticed the other day even Monty Don's started doing it so we're all doomed?
