What would you say that sounded like though because i don't think i do. I can distinguish between how i talk and someone from the west midlands as i think that sounds quite different but i think round here it's pretty much non descript, unless you're a bit rough or an old dear that says me duck a lot.
And yes, I say ayup a lot.
Theres no way in hell am i adopting t' Yaarkshire accents, ever
I'll bet that's a fucked up accent.
Not really! They are two seperate accents. I am Scottish and speak in a Glaswegian accent to family but I live in Oxford and speak with an Oxonian accent to others
I'm confused coz one and won are pronounced differently, surely?
The two are so different I don't see how you manage it without totally changing the way you speak, which seems a bit silly.
Sure, when I go home to Ireland I'll slip back into a broader accent, and my dialect changes a bit, but when I'm in Edinburgh I still have an irish accent.
Unless of course you've lived in Oxford for half your life in which case your accent may be a bit of a hybrid, which can vary depending on where you are at the time, but still isn't either or.
ETA: This too!
Also depends a bit on to whom I am speaking.
The Northern-ness certainly gets stronger after spending some time back 'ome.

Noone is ever able to guess where i come from, which i think is rather good (i grew up in sarf lahndan).
Its camp? Cant say I remember that.
*shrug* I'm not expert, it always sounds camp when I listen to my recorded voice
I have a west coast Scotland accent.
not like peter or vernon kay, i hasten to add.
As a kid I always spoke really well, but as I've got older my speech has become really lazy.
I have quite a westend-ish accent which has become more refined. Not like really snobby though (think saying side as saide) I make more of an effort when I speak nowadays though.
my mother first thought that the other half was black from his accent, then from middlesex...such a shame it says born in dagenham in his passport! lol
