I come from London so obviously, I don't have an accent. It's everyone else who has the accents.

I notice my accent constantly and always have. :shrug: I don't understand how anyone cannot notice theirs since I've always observed my own.

My American accent is a mixture of a generic one and a Pittsburgh accent (Pittsburgh has its own slang for words called Pittsburghese).

Yeah because I don't live where I'm from anymore, I don't when I visit home though.

Absolutely, especially since I've been in uni with people from away. The way I say "door", "floor", "four" etc is funny to them and that I say "Maaam" not Mum ha (very Welshy-ish accent).

That's what I get with EastEnders. :laugh:

Most of the time I don't, but sometimes I'll say something that sounds really Australian, like if I say 'how ya goin'. But Western Australian's have a more neutral accent than those over East (they'll be more like Steve Irwin). I notice it more if I'm talking to people with another accent, but most of the time it's only if someone else makes a comment that I'll be aware of it.

Also I lived in London for 9 months and my family reckoned that my accent sounded more 'English' towards the end of that, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen over 9 months.. I really do love English accents though so maybe I'm just prone to picking them up more quickly :P
