The local accent here sounds like Karly from BB10 - fortunately I've lived/worked away so my accent has changed! I'm damned by everyone tho - in Fife they say I'm posh, elsewhere they say I've got a bit of Karly in my working-class voice.

A few of my german pals can speak perfect english BUT when they visit my area, if a Karly type talker speaks to them, I still have to interpet what they say back to english for them!

Hahaha.. Yeah so Cara, I have a Fife accent but it is NOTHING like Karly's . As for the accents I like... I don't think you can beat the Irish accent.. I like the Northern Irish accent too and erm that's about it.. Oh no, actually I like a well spoken Edinburgh accent and I quite like the Geordie accent. Oh and the Aussie accent too..
And I love a plummy English voice.. like Hugh Grant or Richard E grant :)

Me? Never! One time in Glasgow I went with 6 Germans to a kart racing place - the bloke bloke said it was fine so long as we all understood the safety rules and could I translate once he'd told them. He gave the speil in weegie-talk, then I just turned to the german pals and said exactly the same thing in clear english.............the germans fell about the floor laughing!!!!

I have heavy Japanese accent. L and R are one of difficult to pronounce.

My husband is from Newcastle.
Because he lived in South for many years he would like to think he lost Geordie accent.
But when he gets angry for something, suddenly his accent changes. ha ha

Unlike Karly who'll drop her knickers for 50p?

And unlike you, Edith comes from East fife, not your Dumfi nonesense end

Edith is from Milnathort.. I'm sure to many in here a Fife accent would sound the same no?

My pal had to go to Bruges a few weeks ago - for a works conference about "Health & Safety" - he says it's crap and they must have been very cafeful where they filmed the scences - so maybe not a great holiday destination!

I was actually thinking about this one recently because I haven't got the strongest of Irish accents. Suppose it's similar to Neil Jordan's but with a tiny bit of a Gabriel Byrne's mixed in.

Honestly, I'm still smiling about it, that and France being absolutely dire too. Great stuff.

And yeah, Gabriel is a legend. Haven't watched his American series though. Apparently he's fantastic in it.

I live in Limerick, Ireland and my accent is quite complicated, where I live most people speak pretty slowly and have dire pronunciation, I speak a little bit faster than everyone else but still slow :p Nobody here can pronounce th properly and most of the time it comes out as d, our t is very soft, almost s-like. Sometimes we ad syllables to our words for example 'car' would be pronounced 'kee-ar'. Sometimes there is a slight rolling of r when speaking quickly but that happens rarely.

I can't find any videos on the internet of people who talk like me and I seemed to have explained that in a very complicated fashion. :(
