    Pretty strong Glaswegian. No gay words like "windae" and that though; just the accent.

    Some northerners think I have a cockney accent...

    but I would just say I have a plane southern accent.

    I don't have one of those accents where you could guess where i was from. I guess it's a pretty average southern accent, but people say I sound quite posh sometimes. (For an essex bird, anyway ;))

    Infact, people are quite taken-a-back when I say I'm from Southend.

    I say grarse and barth and larf like any other Southener.

    NZ accent with a bit scottish cos my mum is from Glasgow. So I roll my rrrrrrs and whatnot

    Ditto - but without the Scottish accent and I can't roll my rrrrrrr's.

    I tend to pick up accents quickly though and people (friend's from home) are continuing to pick me up on it. :banghead:

    I have a generic southern accent, apparently. I always have done, but since I moved to Oxford my speech has improved and I pronounce everything properly so now apparently I have a posh southern accent.

    I don't know if its because almost everyone I know has generic nondescript southern accent, but I find most accents really hot. Probably just because they're different.

    i don't think i have much of an accent, but everyone else does so i must be wrong :p i have a midlandsly twang i suppose in that i say 'roight' and 'jaaaane' but it's only on certain words.

    my boyfriend once described me as a 'slightly posh brummie' :yeees:

    Janey, you have got an accent :p.

    Everyone says I have a posh voice when I talk to them :(. I don't even have a proper accent. I used to say like, bAth and cAstle and grAss and stuff, but now I say barth and carstle and grars and it makes me sad :(.

    I have a Stockport accent. It's not quite Mancunian, it's just a general Northern accent. Hard to describe, really.

    I've got a definite northern accent, with a bit of a Leeds twang.

    I do pronounce one as 'wun' instead of 'won'. And I say 'skewl' for school too. Apparently that's a bit scummy. Oh well.

    I've lived in Surrey for so long I talk home counties most of the time, although the old Yorks one creeps back if I'm talking to someone else who has one.

    It all gets a bit strange at uni though.

    Pure, 100% public-school, BBC standard, Queen's English.

    The Southampton / Winchester accent is horrible. Like the Saaaf L'nd'n one but more pikey.

    The Bristol accent on the other hand is fantastic but too silly to be taken remotely seriously.

    A hybrid, is that what they say ?

    I've never detected anything Newcastlish about your accent, no idea about the Manc accent thing though ;p . . .but it goes without saying at work you will change the way you speak. I love what accent you do have though, damn well easy to understand what your saying too :D:p

    I don't know to be honest. On occasion people have said it's posh, but not often enough for me to think it is a posh accent. They're probably just common :p. But erm, Leicester / Cheltenham / gaining a bit of York perhaps? Who knows.

    It's a bit camp, for some reason. I'm not too fond of the campness. :grump:

    I have an American accent when I speak English because that's where I learnt to speak it (northern east coast). I write in British english though because I went to a British school for 9 years.
