I would imagine Jorgie has had some work done in some vain attempt to improve her looks if she did she should seriously think about suing who did it, because I can't imagine anyone who would like to look like bugs bunny intentionally, they need to give her a trial where she has to eat an apple or whatever through a tennis racquet.

My kids have got half southern English accents and half Edinburgh, when my husband took me up to Yorkshire to meet his nan I said you never told me she was a Geordie, he said she isn't, I said she is, I asked her and she said way aye pet, of course I am, how did he never realise?.

I think it's more to do with not being corrected as a child and never learning the difference between the two, as they sound similar, and then not being able to shake the habit as you get older.”

It's very easy to correct, if you remember that fought is one word with a specific meaning that is nothing like thought.
You are, in fact, saying you use the wrong word.
Just start speaking properly.

They each have an accent from the regions they come from or live.
Duncan also has a slur that shows advancing aging process, like he's gradually losing his power of a speech, it's lazy or he needs an examination.

I've lived in Manchester all my life and would never have guessed she's a fellow Manc.

Geordie, Essex and Scottish.

I was just about to say, we don't all sound like that in Essex! I certainly don't and I was brought up 8 miles from Brentwood.

LOL, thank you for your 'insight' into this but unfortunately it isn't that easy.

My tongue does not naturally move in the way it is supposed to in order to make the 'th' sound, so while I can do it if I consciously think about it, for the most part I don't think that closely about the words I'm saying and how I'm supposed to say them. It doesn't help that I talk quite quickly. When I do use 'th', it feels wrong and clunky in my mouth. It's just not a natural sound for me to make or for my tongue to move in that way. Whereas 'f' flows easily. I do it with every 'th' word, not just 'thought'. 'Fink', for example, isn't even a word; of course I know that on a written level but when speaking it's a lot harder to remember.

That's because she seems to talk in a child like voice with intermittent squeals and squeaks thrown in for good measure on the rare occasions she does talk.
