Default Do you notice your own accent?
I didn't even know I had an accent until I moved to Devon and all of my friends picked me up on it. Whenever I name accents I just don't think of mine as one because it's just so normal to me.

I don't think I really have one I'm just told I sound a bit posh. But then for being a devon boy I don't really know anyone that sounds like the wurzels or anything.

Yeah. South Devon accents are quite bland and almost bordering on posh. I live nearer the West and I can really notice the accents here. And once you get further (Bristol etc) you really get them Josie vibes.

Not my accent particularly, but I catch myself saying certain phrases and it makes me think 'am I that Welsh?!'

yeah I do because my accent consists of like 30 different accents. I think I sound really yorkshire cause i say the phrases and shorten things down like 'whatevs', because I'm a dick. but my numbers and letters are pronounced in an american accent and when I'm angry, i turn really posh and use big words... its so strange. but then again, im not exactly normal
