I’m from the US and visited England in 2017. I was slightly sick with a small virus and went to find cough drops at the pharmacy nearby. I asked one of the employees and she was just like this 💕 I still think about her and how her daughter, Krista, ended up doing in her psychology program. She must have graduated now and I bet she, her mom, and her brother had a nice celebration. The dad was never mentioned but I know they were hoping Grandpa would make it to see her graduate 😅 She had me get these numbing throat lozenges that worked like a charm!
Hahahaha! Wasn't me, but I did guide an American student regarding cold relief. Told him paracetamol was Tylenol, and warned him of making sure he took them 4 hours apart and only for a couple of days. I also told him about our strict limits on paracetamol, policy. He walked off with some lemsip, throat lozenges and paracetamol. Repeating to me; "NO paracetamol, if I have lemsip and vice a versa"! He had no knowledge of my family. But like you? I wonder if he graduated and remembers this old English mother Hen! 😆
Stop exaggerating lol. She's very funny and talented, but there are heaps of consistently funny creators on CZcams. I discover at least one a week. Perhaps you just haven't been as exposed

I would love to see a whole series of northerners giving bad news! As a non native english speaker, I love your accent and deliveries. Even though I can't relate to the characters, the stories you tell are great and funny
I didn't prepare anything for a Spanish speaking test in year 10 once and my teacher called me into the office to give me a right bollocking. Then she rang my mum in front of me and proceeded to have the nicest conversation in the sweetest voice like this, she was so nice that I thought I was off the hook, only for her to go back to dressing me down as soon as my mum hung up 😅
The goodbye on the call is so accurate lmfao, at least 5 different ways of saying goodbye is used at once. Thanks a lot cya goodybe nice catching up tattybye.

Hahahaha! Not northern, but our old school receptionist was like this. She disliked the head master as much as us kids and according to my old school friends, "totally favoured", me! She used to make me a cup of tea and sit me in her office with her, if I got into trouble. (Always for talking). The headmaster would go off for the day, (rumours of his whereabouts were rife)! And he'd think I was standing outside his office. God bless you, Mrs Allen, where ever you are!

She could read me bedtime stories and I'd fall asleep faster than using medication. Hell, she could read the weather report and it would have the same effect 😂
Some of us in the U.S. have a head start on listening to Northern English because we've heard so many interviews of folks recalling when they knew the Beatles, back in the early days.
