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.

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 "

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.

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

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 ) and a little bit like Stuarts as well but not as heavy as those two.

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.

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

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

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.
