She has definitely tried to ditch the Barnsley accent. There’s nothing wrong with sounding Yorkshire. It’s a great accent and I’ve never met anyone who hates it so much they want to change it. She definitely has some complex. I couldn’t imagine not living in Yorkshire somewhere, I didn’t even leave to go to uni!
But you can definitely tell if someone is from Barnsley, Sheffield, Leeds or Hull. Donny maybe but not as Yorkshire and anyone from Harrogate is posh
. I’m the only one in my family who’s northern and has a northern accent...even I don’t want to change it or lose it!
Tbh if it’s an old building the likely hood is that it’s plastered over brick so the walls will be solid...so you can sort of drill anywhere you want if you’ve got the right tools..obviously have to be careful of electrical cables and water pipes.
