To an extent, I know what you mean. Over 30 years living in Coventry, and I still think, behave and sound like the Yorkshireman I'll always be. Worse, my daughter, born and bred in Coventry, still tells her kids to "Shove t'wood in th'ole!", and she and my son both know the full lyric to On Ilkley Moor bah t'at.

As to the rest, you can always tell a Glasgie girl. But you can't tell her much!
