Do you have an accent?

I live on the Wirral and when I went to senior school in Chester they all thought I was dead scouse. I gradually lost any accent until my Liverpool friends thought I was talking posh. Since I've worked in Liverpool for 11 years now, my scouse is coming back a little. It all depends on how drunk I am really

Waaahhh Solihull? No blinkin' way.

Spot the difference. The Queen is little and posh. I am big and not posh. Mind you, she has got less posh as the years haev passed. If you listen to her speeches when she was much younger it's like a parody of poshness.

Where abouts are you all living? "on the huh" is a real Norfolk thing - noone down here in London gets it. I've lost most of the Norfolk accent (thank goodness) unless I'm back home or talking to someone from there then occasional vowels change to a more country sound

I was expecting you to have a Dorset accent!

I have a mix between a Geordie and a Yorkshire accent - think of Matt Baker but a female sounding version, that's how I speak.

I have a Southern accent, can't pronounce my 'th's' and BB thinks I have the same accent as Jordan. Flow doesn't think I have.

Chids would that be the goold old black country accent?

A mixed bag for me.

Born down south (Beckenham) so had a mild south east accent (barth, grarss etc).

Move up north (South Shields) at the age of 5 and had to very quickly adapt my accent as I was sick of getting asked to say 'no'.

Moved back down to Surrey at 7 and again had to adapt my accent back to south eastern as all the kids down there were watching Geordie Racer at school and were convinced I kept pigeons.

Then back up north at 8 - another adapted accent.

Then down to Leeds at 18. Started off saying Yorkshire-isms as a joke and now can't stop (dunt instead of doesn't, wunt instead of wouldn't).

So, accent is a mixture - mainly mild geordie with a bit of Yorkshire and some slightly posher bits chucked in (although not many).

well, ii i am led to believe correctly, people assume i have a high pitched girly kinda of voice, a bit like a doll but alas, this is not true!

I thought you'd be softly spoken and a bit fluffy sounding.

Suffolk! I guess Suffolk and Norfolk talk is pretty similar. I love the word Bishy Barnabee but someone told me that was more of a Norfolk word than Suffolk.

I am Welsh and speak Welsh fluently, but I don't have a Welsh accent. South Wales has a really strong accent (the sterotypical Welsh accent shown on comedy programmes) and North Wales has two quite strong accents (North West Wales has a very nasal Welsh sounding accent and North East Wales is more scouse). Mid Wales has got off lightly with barely an accent at all. My accent changes when I speak to my mum though.

I don't have an accent, I speak the Queen's English. Though not quite so plum-in-mouth.

I hate my voice though, imagine a child with a blocked nose and you've got me.

In my head, you sound like a TOWIE person.

Feck the hell off!!!!

I was thinking more Brad Pitt's mum in Snatch!

Surely your phrase of choice should have been 'Shut uuuup'!?

And yes Nic, for some reason I thought you'd be posh. No idea why now that I think about it ?

I'm more Glasgowish than Stirlingish. I stay kind of between the two, so i've got quite a soft accent. Although i do use the word 'ken' alot, aye, naw, fae, gonnae. all these braw words!

My friend from Aberdeen is a hoot! she's hilarious to listen to. She pronounces Tesco as Tasco and my name has an 'e' in it but it's pronounced with more of an 'a'. Her dad came out with a belter once

'Firraebootsyeofftaethenichtlichtken?!' which translated as 'where are you off to tonight?'

Haha! I'll hold onto the premise that someone somewhere thought I was posh!

I think it's the accountant in you. I picture you in a power suit with a briefcase.

Might be.....but I refuse to believe I speak like I am from Dudley!

I don't really consider myself to have an accent, am from midlands, even when I was growing up my accent was nothing compared to schoolfriends - they thought I was posh!!

Now that I've moved down south all my old mates think I speak like a londoner, but all my southern friends, OH and inlaws take the mick out of my 'northern monkey' accent!! Can't bleedin win!!

Think of me as the female version of Gordon Gekko!

?

I would have thought you had a 'girly' voice, yes.

Nope, just plain English.. Much to the disappointment of a few here, who thought I would be welsh :/

u Do have an accent though!! kinda...almost burmmie like ?

I don't think mine will come as a surprise...

Have lived in Devon all my life but no Devonshire accent. My mum's family is from North London and my Dad's is from Manchester (but they all spoke RP rather than local accent), so I speak a bit like them. At my primary school almost everyone had parents who had moved down here from posh areas of London so we all had similar accents. Wasn't until secondary school I realised how posh I sound and have toned it down a bit ?.

Wash your mouth out Flow!!

Where in Devon do you live?

What an insult! ?

I lived in Scotland for most of my life so have a scottish accent. I started off living in the highlands so had a teuchter accent and then when I was 18 I moved down to Glasgow, so I picked up a bit of a weegie twang although my friends will say I had a proper weegie accent. I go up north every now and again to see my friends and when I come home, I have more of a teuchter accent which OH think is funny.

I have lived in Northampton now for 7 years and haven't picked up the Northants accent. People struggle to understand me sometimes tho!
