    :yes:

    I have a Scottish accent. Not a harsh glasgow / edinburgh accent, but a soft highland one.

    Once, I was asked if I was american :yeees:

    A Greek accent, obviously, though I try to mask it as American when speaking English. Because I can't manage to do a British one by any means, and because it sounds much better than a Greek accent speaking English, believe me.
    In the times I've been to London (except the last one in 2003) people I spoke to used to reply in Spanish. :o

    Same, although my "u" vowels are getting more fronted the longer I stay up here and if I'm talking to my Yorkie bar friend then I say grAss and pAth even though I say GRARSE and PARTH with everyone else.

    Well aparently I have a northern accent... according to someone whom I won't mention... who rang me in a drunken state from a train station in the earlier hours of the morning last week. You know who you are! :p

    Although my friends say I sound posh... So I guess that'd be posh notherny-middlandsy type accent.

    I've an Aberdonian accent which really comes out when I'm trolleyed.

    I have sort of moved about a bit for the last couple of years though and picked up the odd twang and people back home rip the piss saying I've lost my identity :crying:

    Everyone has an accent. You can't have no accent.

    I have moved around a lot, so i dont really have a noticeable accent, hence why people ask where im from, then express suprise :D

    I suppose it must be an accent but its not identifiable.

    For good or bad, you Greek folks could never speak any other language without putting your own accent in it. The Spanish amigos too.

    Everyone from the North thinks I have a posh accent. I sometimes sound a bit southern. But my southern mates think I sound like a Notherner. So I'm "mosh" (as Diamond Geezer says) because i'm a posh mancunian.
