Cheshire Accent?

Question

what does the Cheshire Accent really sound like? because some people say it sounds posh but from the cheshire people iv'e met they sound more like machester than posh. so which parts of cheshire do they sound posh and which parts do they sound more like manchester? thanks

Answer 1

my best mate has a cheshire accent and he REALLY doesnt sound posh at all, but he is from the scummy bit of cheshire- crewe (his words not mine!). he says that just south of manchester is the posh bit with the footballers and footballers wives and most millionaires outside central london, northwest is scouse and the centre bit is vaguely northern
