I’m like a lot of others here a “Mish-mash”, born in Portsmouth, but of a dad who was Northern irish via Solihull, and a mum who was from Sheffield, i’ve then lived in York, Leeds, London, Germany, Morocco and now Norfolk, and i pick up bits of accents, and even more certain turns of phrase.. i have a habit of saying “that’s grand..” instead of good like NI, then will come out with Yorkshire phrases but in a Hampshire accent with Norfolk bumpkin inflections!
My uncles is good, born in Newwcastle, raised in Sheffield and now in Essex, he has this weird Geordie, Yorkshire, Essex accent going on.
I like the range of accents on our small island..
