Yeah, those as well :p

Really, meant that it is distinct from the majority of English accents (Geordie being the main exception) which are distinct dialects within broadly the same language. You'd have to hear a broad Lancashire dialect for example to get the really distinct rhythms, whereas the Welsh can use far fewer dialect words yet display greater distinction in rhythm.
