UK accents

[dholliday]

UK accents are fascinating, so many of them in such a small country. Came across this bit of fun:




What accent you got? I guess we're 50% scouse and 50% everything else on here. Mine's all over the shop: hybrid of German, Hullian & London tho' I've been told Hullian is the most dominant.

Slight west country burr having lived down this way for 11 years but not much of a regional accent at all really.

I always describe my accent as Northern Middle Class. I say class and glass not clarse and glarse but I don't have a discernible accent.

This explains so much...

What accent 'have' you got ffs.

 

[Socrates]

Despite living on the South Coast for 25 years, still strong scouse which gets stronger after attending a match.

The problem with been from Widnes and our accent, whenever go abroad, people assume I’m from Liverpool. Worked in Liverpool years back and couple of scousers thought was from Manchester. Worked in Manchester after completing job in Liverpool few weeks later and was getting called every scouse name under the sun. Suppose you can’t win when your from a wool town.

[Number_25]

Horrendously Welsh, to the point that people struggle to decypher what I say.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Sound a bit Scottish.

I put manc but I've now lived down south for too many years, so unless I watch Corrie (which I don't anymore) or hear the accent, in which case it comes back thick.

Probably have a bit of west country now too, from having heard it for so long. Love a good accent though, and sometimes catch myself subconsciously mimicking one - ie I'll have a Welsh accent if I'm talking to a Welsh. Can be embarrassing as it sounds like I'm taking the mick.
