I've been told I don't have that a strong accent, but if any of you heard me you'd probably think I sounded like Agnes McHaggis from the McHighlands of Jockland, drunk on Whiskey and Irn Bru.. och aye!

Scum Ireland meets repressed homosexuality.

[Withano]

Like a miserable Ricky Gervais or a happy Jeremy Kyle. Them and Dawn French are pretty much the only famous people to come out of my town.

[AnnieK]

I have Manchester accent that gets stronger or lesser depending on who I am speaking to. Not as strong as the Gallaghers and I'm not all "mad for it".

[SharkAttack]

Philadelphia with west coast accents. Not sure what that is, but it is.

[Redway]

A typical Scouse accent with a few traces of Mancunian and sometimes it sounds a little southern.

Even the Gallaghers accents have toned town now with them living in London for so long. Think they left Manchester in the early 90's and never went back.

[Niamh.]

a bit like Roy Keane only not as masculine

If Barry white grew up in the cotswolds then lived in the Midlands, I'm guessing he'd sound just like me (that is based on zero evidence).

I don't have a clue how to describe my accent, I must speak quite fast or something though, because when I was in London last month nobody had a clue what I was saying.

Jessica My sister in laws bf is irish and everyone can understand him perfectly apart from me, I have to listen really closely to know what he's saying, sometimes I just laugh.

I have a kinda glaswegian accent.

Seriously, when I was in London I went to a coffee shop to order cappuccinos for my mother and sister and I said "could I have two cappuccinos please" only to realise the guy was making tea after I said it, then I said "Sorry, I said cappuccinos" and he was like "What? Cappuccino?" and I said "Yeah" then he made ONE cappuccino and I had to explain that I said two. Then I asked him to put cold milk in one of them and he put it in the two. I never felt so self conscious about my accent before.

He sounds like he could possibly be from Limerick but more from the country rather than city. I sound nothing like that anyway.

I was in New York a couple of years ago and I had to book a shuttle bus back to the airport, so I said "Can you collect us at 20 past 4?" and the woman on the phone said "I'm sorry m'am I don't know military time"
