I don't think I do, but when I went on holiday this summer & last I got a lot of English people telling me my accent was amazing! Moreover, Scottish folk can always tell I'm from Glasgow, so I guess I must.

He lives in London at the moment but I think he told me he was from Manchester.

Callum 29-06-2008 10:01 PM

I have been told that I have an extremley posh/enlglish, although I was born in the "valleys" South Wales.

~Kizwiz~ 29-06-2008 10:02 PM

Boring East Midlands none existent accent

Indierock&roll 29-06-2008 10:02 PM

i have a very stong scouse accent!!

liam_bigbrother 29-06-2008 10:07 PM

i have a cross between

Geordie/Hartlepudlian/ Posh accent. Strange i know lol. But genreally where i come from people talk quite fast and drop the "h"'s of the beggining of words so when people try to say Hartlepool it becomes " 'artlepool "

Deirdre 30-06-2008 02:58 PM

I have a really strong Galway accent. Probably cause I've never left Ireland...

Barbie 30-06-2008 03:43 PM

don't know when i hear myself i hear no accent obviously
from essex and mix with really common and with well spoken types so it must change slightly between the two groups

Legend 30-06-2008 04:48 PM

You can definatly tell I'm from Liverpool when I speak, it's pretty strong but not to the extent of say Susan from Shipwrecked where it's REALLY strong. Plus I talk really fast and people say I mumble too which doesn't make what I say any easier for people to understand.

Bells 30-06-2008 04:52 PM

I can adapt my accent really easily - it's one of my many talents. :whistle:

GiRTh 30-06-2008 04:54 PM

Not really. People know I'm from North of Watford but few people guess correctly. Many people think I'm quite posh.

Do you do it purposely or without realising?

I do it without realising but not a full accent change but a slight change. Funnily enough the three accents are all in this years BB- I have the same accent as Lisa but depending who I'm around it can end up a tiny bit like Luke's (which pisses me off :mad:) and a little bit like Stuarts as well but not as heavy as those two.

Princess 30-06-2008 10:30 PM

I don't even think I have an accent.

Note>There are many Irish accents!

melanie 30-06-2008 10:32 PM

I talk like Darnell does

Tom4784 01-07-2008 12:29 AM

My accent is very peculiar, I was born deaf and after a few operations I had to go to a pair of speech therapists who was this american man and this posh girl. I came out of that with like a posh transatlantic accent. For some strange reason people thought I was Irish when I first started Secondary school.

Now however I've adapted a more traditional black country accent although there's still some posh and american bits of lingo there. At the moment my accent is quite bizarre, A mix of black country, posh and american.

Xander 01-07-2008 12:30 AM

^^Wow, must be interesting to hear your speak. :hugesmile:

I don't have a accent, I suppose?
Apparantly I sound a bit posh when I speak.:conf:

Nurse57 01-07-2008 12:37 PM

I have a well spoken accent with traits of Leicester. It depends if you get my phone voice or not. With Leicester there are a few quirks. We crop the T's on the end of words. Swear words especially. So you have Cun and Twa, there is something on the end but it is not a full T.

Place names are an interesting one. If it ends in Y things change. So Blaby, said Blay-Bee or Groby, said Grew-Bee will come out as Blay-Bih and Grew-Bih.

We are also economical with our words. Why use a word if it is not needed? So, "Are you coming to the pub?" becomes "Coming pub?" and so on.
