Dads from Banbury
Orroight moi duuck, you goin dane tane?
(Translation: hello my dear, are you going into town?)
Lolling at ourman, right bunch of bumpkins!! LOL, my granddad lives just outside Banbury his accent is sooooo farmer!!!
Essex chav.
Soft SE Cornish
Born, raised and still live in Leicester (the shame), so a boring, pretty non descript midland accent.
Plus the ridings poo!
Mixture really. Lost most of my Malvern accent when I moved to London, so now it's a mix of middle england, a bit brizzle/FOD/cornwall at times with a smidge of midland (dare I say kidderminster).
Of course when I'm around yokells I revert almost immediately into 'talk like a farmer' mode.
Oddest thing, I lived in Newcastle for a bit, but the accent didn't really come out until I moved to Glasgow.
Weegies still take the piss as I can't do their home phrases (or pronounce towns...) It just sounds wrong...
Essex boy. South-east coast, nasaly, estuary English. But I enunciate properly. I have developed quite a few West Country-isms since I moved here 20 years ago.
Mine would be the [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh_English ]Pittsburghese[/url] dialect of American English.

"Yinz talk funny in England n'at."
"Don't make funna me, ya jagoff!"
Deepest darkest South Wales Valleys. I could have narrated Ivor the Engine. Tidy like see butt.
Kind of mid Atlantic apparently, courtesy of my parents choice of school and them both being very well spoken teacher types.
Often mistaken for Canadian / Scots mix.
I love accents and dialect, I meet lots of folk through work and always try to workout where they are originally from based on their accent.
I have Peebles accent, quite muted I think because my parents came from other parts of Scotland, a lot of my peers from school have very broad accents, I think because their parents were Peeblians as well.
I started having children when I lived in Leeds and tbh was dreading my weans having a Leeds accent, was glad when I got a job back up here when child number two was on the way. They are all broad Gala now, which actually might be worse.
I lived in Leeds for about 11 years and can just about pass as a native if I try, a few yorkshire words/expressions have made it into my vocabulary as well, 'my lass' used a lot when describing my girlfriend and 'appen when replying non-comitally to a question.
Conversely my Yorkshire girlfriend has started to develop a glottal stop after being up here for 11 years, she also uses no instead of not, mind instead of remember, aye and nuht instead of yes and no etc, still broad Yorkshire tho.
'ampshire!! with a bit of mockney twang from spending too many years working and socializing up that direction. So not Laandon and not full wurzel but somewhere inbetween (with lots of swearing).
posho RP speaker here.
but i live in Yorkshire, where they lynch people like me.
so i've had to adopt the northern 'A'.
'barth' has become 'bath'
'grarss' has become 'grass'
etc.
but mum tells me off when i go home talking all funny - so i'm basically bi-lingual.
tha'kno's, now tha' comes t'mention it. I dun't reckon a'st getten an accent.
I'm told I speak German with a pronounced Bayerisch accent though 😛
proper working class southside glasgow(rutherglen/castlemilk borderlands to be exact). I suspect I'd need to use my phone voice to be understood by most on here.
Teesside,full on unlike some of the middle class Doyles above.
My Oxford based company would say Northern, people in Leeds would say posh so not quite sure.
I grew up in the Vale of York so certainly not a broad accent but definitely from round these parts.
Tom83 - MemberMix of Esseeeeex, hampshire and now kent. I've been asked if I'm Australian a few times before, but i reckon they were just thick people!
i get asked that quite often. and some of those asking me have been either australian or from essex 😕
Ecky-Thump - MemberI'm told I speak German with a pronounced Bayerisch accent though
manche sag'n das i au oina boarisches ak'zent hob....
Turnip-top from Hicksville.
Yorkshire. I've lived in West Yorkshire all me life, but the wife's Dodworth accent's rubbed off, somewhat.
I work in Leeds, where i was told by a Polish guy that I had a strong accent. 'E dint know worriwere torkin abart.
Slight scouse
'Cheshire darling' Macclesfield to be precise. So somewhere between a northern monkey and well to do. Still find hearing myself totally weird though
Finest Ayrshire, complete with glottal stop.
R instead of yes
Black Country Lite
Baaaarnsley. although lost it now after moving around the country a few times and now i've got some annoying accent comprising a mix of yorkshire/geordie. still go back into proper barnsley accent when i'm back home and cant say anything starting with h properly. my girlfriend and southern mates can't understand my granddad...
There's no R in bath.
East-north for me. That's north and east, but not north east - that's three hours drive away, and they talk funny.
