NW London here, but don’t think I have a cockney accent. Can’t stand ‘H‘ and ‘T‘ being dropped But I’m not posh.

When in the Contemporary Resort last year a girl with her dad behind me said that I sound just like Mary Poppins 😂 Nothing like their English relatives (they are from Manchester apparently).

I am Northern but my kids tease me for having a 'posh Northern' accent.

I'm from Kent so have a southern accent. Not as strong as South London.

Megaflyer, what’s RP stand for? I’m guessing it’s not Real Posh or is it? 😂😂😂

I only really notice I have an accent when I am on holiday. I am always surprised to hear my Scottish accent every time!

Broad Scottish - Forfarian to be precise. Our closest city is Dundee which is only about 14 miles away but our accents are completely different.
