What accent do you talk in?

[addictfreak]

Definately geordie for me, might even pile it on a bit more when around those southern jessies.

I'm regularly mistaken for Prince Charles on the phone.

 

[radger]

RP with some estuary vowels and glottal stops and a sprinkling of west country. It gets more RP when I'm on the phone.

 

[Young Un]

Pure as the driven Black Country.

Apparently it is a very soft Edinburgh accent. Personally, I do not think I have one.

generic northern probably ,but being an army brat it's probably a bit non descipt

Actually, I'm quite posh Black Country. My mother hated us talking 'slang' as kids and used to give us 'the look' if I slipped up in public.

Having said im a broad geordie. I thought I might let you in on the nicest accent i have come across.
She was a mates wife back in army days. She was from Omargh in NI and I just loved her voice. She was very attractive too (of course) only thing was her name, Doris not particularly sexy!

A lot of people seem to talk like me - RP

[tordis]

No idea. I know for sure I have an accent. It's not a typical Polish accent, though.

 

[ladyrider100]

I speak a mix of North Wolverhampton living cross the border in South Staffs but thanks to my move to Dudley I seem to be picking the lingo up all though my daughter who lives in Northern Ireland, with in a day of her landing, her NI accent is gone replaced by Dudley spake when she spends her hols with me, all ways been the same.

You've neatly summarised my accent - though I add a bit of Mancunian and west yorks into the mix as well.

Interesting: "RP is often believed to be based on Southern accents, but in fact it has most in common with the dialects of the south-east Midlands: Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and Huntingdonshire."

Not entirely sure about their grasp of geography there though...
