This week Krupa and Gav whack on their detective hats in an attempt to figure out where in the UK someone's very important boss is from. 

If you have any feelings on the accent, please let us know in the comments below. 

Please keep sending us your topic suggestions, questions, funny stories, and Minging or Fair Plays to: bit.ly/ShieldUp

Stay safe and keep your shield up,

Still listening to the episode but first thought on hearing his voice he sounded like one of the beatles so I'd have said Liverpool but then had a bit of Geordie I thought. Must admit as a Scottish slug I didn't hear the Scottish twang but at one point I reckon I could hear a touch of Irish so god knows! xD

Alex Hawkins

The way he says 'now' and 'first taste' are very Geordie and I suspect that's his original way of speaking. I'd guess northeast England. I heard what sounded like norther Irish at one point but he's almost certainly got a mishmash from working in different places so I think that's what makes it so difficult

I instantly thought "That man is from north of Newcastle."

I will say, Krupa, I think there's not a failsafe way to ask after people's heritage as a white dude. I recently asked a new colleague where he was from - he mentioned that English wasn't a strong language for him which busted that door wide open - and he was reticent to answer openly, until he found out I knew where in India Pune was. Because I was clearly interested in his background and knew where he was from, he was delighted. I think it's about mitigating tone, and making sure it's clear, after the fact, that you're just interested in other cultures. No need to feel guilty or awkward!

Definitely Newcastle mid Atlantic accent going on there i think. A few very Geordie intonations flattened out by a period in the states

Rory MacLeod

100% he was Scottish....coming from a Scot.

Katie McConnell

Clearly part Scouse, Scot, Welsh and Jordi

Joey Lacon

I gotta watch that plug video 😅

Sean Tuck

Socks before trousers!? That seems just as mad as sock shoe sock shoe to me! Perhaps I'm the odd one lol

T McD

As a Scot...I didn't think so 😅 my sister's both live down in Newcastle and for me it's much more Geordie than any regional Scottish accent

AJ Provance

Weird: The Al Yankovic story is a bio-pic parody

If I ever make it out of the colonies and across the pond I hope I get to buy Krupa a beer and ask him if the socks match the top.

Fantastic!

Daniel Howlett

Was defo thinking Geordie, glad Gav agreed.

Paul McGrady

Am I the only one hearing Irish??

Mark Coxon

I'm originally from Northumberland north if Newcastle and I would put him also somewhere in that region for sure. My accent also softened a lot from travelling and now living abroad 10 years so people struggle to be sure where I'm from but you can certainly still here it in there

I'm a sock, shoe, sock, shoe kind of person. I have sensory issues with wearing certain fabrics and clothes, so I absolutely hate wearing socks and gloves. I wear slippers inside the apartment instead; I keep the socks I have in use at the time inside my shoes, so when I go out, I remove one foot from the slipper and put a sock and shoe on, and then repeat with the other foot. I'm commenting months late, but I only started listening to Shield Up, so I'm slowly working through these in reverse order. 😅
