[Closed] Tell us your accent

Fife one here and happen to work too,i can always spot a Fifer on radio and it is not a great listen but cross the Tay to the Dundee schemes and it's like being on a different continent you need subtitles if not used to it

I'm going to guess mine is clipped RP with a mass of Scottish idioms thrown in.

Raised in Hertford but have lived in Scotland for almost all of my adult life. The current Hertford accent isn't what it was when I was growing up, now being a definite estuary drawl.

Stirling - the accent changes within a few miles. I lived for 10 years in Fallin, a former mining village to the east, and the accent there was very different to that spoken by my colleagues born and bred in Stirling.

Wifey is from North Ontario. My boys speak with lightly Scottish accents (I think) and they definitely pronounce some words differently to me. Poem being an example.

25 years of living in Yorkshire but don't think I have picked up the accent but luckily my original Kidderminster accent only comes out when I am drunk!

Born in Wiltshire had the worzel corrected by my very posh grandmother, then went on to live in various bits of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire before moving to Sheffield 20 years ago.
I once had a lengthy conversations with a woman and at the end of it she asked me where in the country I was from. She was a professor at the university studying dialects and couldn't place me - I quite like that.

More recently I was told at a party that I had the accent of a middle class girl who'd gone off the rails - that's probably also quite accurate! 😆

Grew up in Derbyshire but within a stones throw of South Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire borders.
More or less sock in between Sheffield, chesterfield and Mansfield.

Therefore I’ve got a real mish mash of Dee-dar, me-duck and Water with an ah.

Broad Lancashire, mainly a cross between Chipping and Goosnarian.

Finnish rally driver.

Me earlier on today.... 😉

South Lancashire,not quite as 'full on' as Johnny Vegas...
People from up the road,Preston think I'm a bit scouse.
When I'm in Yorkshire or East Lancs they often think I'm Scouse.
When I'm in Liverpool they think I'm from Lancashire or Yorkshire.
I've had New Zealander's ask me what part of Scotland I'm from !! 😯

east Devon estuary

Black Country that’s been beaten out of me by my Geordie Mum and North Yorshirist Dad whilst growing up..... Mixed with a hint of whoever I’m talking to at the time..... it’s annoying and no idea why I do it

West Yorkshire, with a strong Barnsley flavour which has rubbed off the better half over the past 29 years.
A Polish guy I used to work with in Leeds once told me that I'd got a strong accent. 😀

posh scouse

I have retained my South London accent despite 10 yrs in Liverpool and 25 odd in Scotland.
The Mrs changes accent like I change pants, took her about 3 weeks to get a scouse accent and when she talks to Eastern Europeans its frankly embarrasing, sounds like she's taking the piss.
The weird one tho' is when she gets angry she develops a strong Geordie accent- despite [i]never[/i] having been there.

Mancashire but can go full Salford when fuming. In such situations I apparently sound like my dad.

Born and lived in Brum till I was five , moved to small village in Worcestershire , worked in Gloucester for 20+ years -
I guess its a bit sproutyyamyam .

A mancashire accent a mixture between Bolton to full on Manc when I'm angry or drunk.

transatlantic Bolton toned down through lecturing mangled with Swiss German and Norwegian infections

my old friends from Bolton are ashamed to know me

Or right mo mon, ah bin ya.
Black Country born in wall heath and only moved about 5 miles.
On holiday “are you from Birmingham “
"no I'm not from fu%=##g Birmingham “

I have a working class London accent, I don’t use the stereotype dialect though lol. If I’m angry I sound like a bank robber apparently...

Dublin with a hint of cockney and teesside

Mix of Wigan / Bolton / manc, depending on where I've spent most time.

Those towns are within 20 miles af each other but the accents really differ.

I went out with a girl from Australia 10 years ago when she was working over here and I developed an Aussie twang....

North east London, not quite east London Danny Dyer but not far off.

Missus is from Leeds but has been down here down south for 38 years and has lost most of her Yorkshire accent, if I hear a strong Yorkshire accent come back I'm running for the hills as I know I'm in trouble! 😀

posh scouse

Oxymoron.

Not really mert, a wool is a wool Need to get into Liverpool to hear linguistic distinction.

I used to deliver around Liverpool and i genuinely couldn't understand one customer. Went a mile or 2 and I knew what they were all saying 😀

I was born in 'uddersfield, have an 'uddersfield accent.

MrsTHtobe was born in Pontefract, she has a Highland accent...

A fair bit of Manc from living in Simister and Prestwich on and off from ~1976 to ~1981 as a youngster, a bit of Wirral Scouse from living around Heswall from ~1985 to ~1992 as a teen, with a mild Southampton tone from being here since 1992.

Softer yam yam. Edge of the chase but work in cannock.

Boring BBC Bucks lingo

Born in Bristol

Immediately conscripted to elocution lessons

So, "Reet posh aren't ya? Bit sweary tho" as I've been told, seems to be fair.
