I need a Northern Accent Extraction please

But there's the non-existant t' again I've honestly never heard anyone say t' for 'the', only 'to'.

It's extremely common where I live - "I bought it on t'internet", and also th' for "the" before a vowel - "I were in th'office".

'it'

It is though you're right

I haven't started saying muckle though thank fuck

'Many a mickle maks a muckle', scans better and is less long-winded than, 'Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves'.

And where I am - but the Congleton accent sounds less "northern" and more "lazy".

I need to either get a proper Northern accent or lose it completely before I'm doomed to a life of sounding like a prat.
