I can’t make out a thing that the clerk says except “Get out”. Other than the “You know what I always say …” part, all I understand this gentleman to say is “fucking”. I’m not even sure that I understand what “ta-ra” is supposed to mean.

Pretty sure “ta-ra” is good bye.

There has to be more accent-al distance per mile (ok, kilometer) in England (let alone the UK) than any where else on the melting orb. (“and 'ow do you go about estimating ‘accent distance’?” uh… H’s dropped times vowels slid divided by rhyming slang over 7?) 666km of Germany and mostly it’s just Icccch to Isssh

You win the toaster!
I’m usually good w/thick dialects/accents, and watch and read lotsa English stuff, but have had nowhere near enough exposure to Scouse, so I’m also pretty much w/o a clue.
It’s the UK: alcohol is rarely not involved.
Ah! Thanks a lot! or should I say, “Cheers, mate!”

Humm, I don’t know, I can tell apart at least 6 different accents in Tuscany alone, and 3 or 4 different accents in Rome, leaving out all the various Italian dialects that have their own separate grammatical rules, or that are an entirely different language altogether.
