BTW was that bear guy a local? I mean, is it the local accent or a speech impediment that makes him say "bear" to "beer"? And what does he call a bear?
It was an accent from the north of England. I think maybe Yorkshire, it is very distinctive and hard to understand! I think bears are also bears, fortunately in Britain we are not plagued with real bears.
In the states or Canada his survival rate might be quite low
I remember now, the ones that have changed all the vowels and use old Viking words. "Lowp ovver t'yat or fallo t'ginnel". I once tried to learn at least some words, but gave up. Quite a cross to beer, such an accent.
I believe they might... but only in pairs I have heard.

Shudder.
Hehe, yes it is quite a cross to beer!
Actually I googled the accent, its Newcastle!
Not as bad as rural Yorkshire, but still weird.
Yeah, rural yorkshire wins hands down but it is a close second!
