What accent do you have?

[Lostbrain]

I'm near Basingstoke, so generic SE England (estuary?), I'm quite a mimic and my accent gets posher if I'm in some company and I start dropping Ts and Hs in others.

I have a Black Country accent (not too strong but definitely noticeable), it's certainly not a Birmingham accent!

Geordie accent - despite living in Yorkshire for the last 25 years everyone who meets me asks me where in the North East I'm from!

The children all speak with a local accent (North Leeds/Harrogate).

People who we don’t know often tell us we have very little in the way of an accent but that occasionally they can here a hint of a Liverpool accent, which is strange as we don’t live in Liverpool. I think what they might be hearing is a slight Wirralian accent - a mixture of three or four accents.

If I spend a lot of time with a person with an accent, I can embarrass myself as I find that I am beginning to speak like them 🥺

Brought up in Brum lived a good while in little Scotland now in a small village , my accent is a mix not posh by any stretch.

My MIL (who was originally from the far north of Scotland) would pick up accents and start talking like the person she was speaking to at the drop of a hat. When she came back from an extended holiday in Australia it took ages for her to lose the Australian accent.

I have a West Country accent but not a Bristol one and I don’t think I sound like I have a tractor either 😊🤣
