    I don't think that I have an accent, but some people, who I talk to, on the phone, but have not actually meant me in person and who have not talked to me all my life, think that I have an accent.

    Don't exactly remember what these people told me that my accent sounds like, but I know that many have told me that I have an accent.

    Everyone has an accent. There is no completely neutral accent, and if it is, it's a neutral accent! It's still an accent.

    People usually say I sound posh. Someone once said they were sure I went to Roedean. Eh?! I was brought up on a council estate! I don`t have an accent!!

    I have a slight scottish accent but it changes sometimes coz depends who i'm talking to.

    For example if i talk to my family i'm more scottish and when i talk to my boyfriend (whos english) it's less scottish, if that makes sense.

    GOt two accents. One for the home with 'aye' and hoose' and one for interviews, uni work with 'yes' and house'. Still say 'bu'er' for butter in all situations though....

    I don't really have a proper accent :P Some people say it sounds like a cross between a Cheshire accent and a scouse accent, which I guess is sorta true, but it seems to change constantly! :P Usually I'm just accentless, lol :P

    well, mine used to change dramitically in accordance to whom i was talking to, but after watching and hearing myself on video loads last night at seans i can quite surely say i speak rather poshly for a girl that lives in south east london. the only things i dont say like i should be reading the bbc news are the words 'bath' and 'dance' because my dad is mancunian-irish so i say 'baf' rather than 'barth' and 'dans' rather than 'darnce'. i cant say the letter r properly either :rolleyes:
