Well SD apart from their appearance being more like Victorian bushrangers circa 1800's, or gold prospectors of the 19th century, or two dads from Dad and Dave on our selection (1930's) and finally the "eh by gum" accent its hard to see a myth in the video at all. Cowboys have ten gallon hats not two pints.

T' Accent is pure Rochdale, 'alf lanks, 'alf Yorks, t' 'at is sort of bush ranger, and unlike yanks, we only as 'ats as fit t' 'ead..... Plus with brims as wide as your ten-gallon hat, a hat with an all round gutter?... if it rains like it does here, it would drum you into the ground..... thats why we dont do BIG hats.....
Oh and by 't way, on pronunciation, in Lanks and Yorks accent, 't 't is inferred, not pronounced, as in you dont actually say the "t" separate.... It cracks me up when we gets grokkles that try to pronounce the "t" in up t' hill..... its more up thill
And on those things, "Yea old tea shoppe", its "thee old tea shop", the "y" is a throwback from the character "thorn", that looks like a "Y", but was pronounced "T", it fell out of use, except on signs, when they started with tripewriterstypewriters and a "standard" 26 letter alphabet?...
You think thats confusing folks?... we have to live with it.
