What accent do you talk in?

[Mortiroloboy]

I don't believe I have any kind of a discernable accent or dialect. But if I had to describe the way I sound it would be ' southern' 'educated'.

Southern Brum diluted by near forty years down south.

What's up with Telford? It's Shropshire anyway and a lovely place. The Wrekin, Ironbridge, Bridgnorth - all within easy reach.

I have a really strong Nigerian accent. Strange as it may seem for someone from Eastern Scotland......

It's the rest of you lot who do.

I was brought up in Wellington (Telford)! My mum was brought up in India, my Dad Manchester, I was born in Lancashire and went to uni in Yorkshire and have lived in the S.E for over 10 years. Northerners think I'm a southerner, some words have a northern twang. Southerners think I'm Northern. I don't sound like I come from the midlands it really annoys me. Everyone wants to disown me. The Dawley twang is almost Dudley ish, oooh. mmmm. Not an accent I would aspire to, nice people though!!
