Ooa aar Spursday haha. I don't talk like that either although scarily have come across salopians that do!!!

I'm not quite sure what accent I have with the welsh, leeds, manchester and london influences!!!

Non-northerners, friends and family have commented on how northern I sound now but northerners think i sound southern so no idea what I sound like :)

I think i might have a Leicester accent but i really hope not!!!! YUK!!!! I hate it when liecsester people are interviewed on the local news! Its sounds awful, lazy and common!

Fairly generic Southern accent, perhaps slightly plummier than average. I was once told i sound like Rowan Atkinson, I'm not sure I entirely agree!

[ELVIS68]

I have a posh cockney accent

One of the mum's who has a lad in my son's class has a somerset accent she hails from near Taunton. She has a gentle sort of rolling accent if that makes sense? I also love listening to the locals talk when I go on holiday to Looe, every year.

My old mate was from Hayle in Cornwall she moved up to Shrewsbury when her parents split. Her dad phoned one day when I was there and asked to speak to me, I asked afterwards was he taking the pi$$ apparently not he sounded just like Jethro bless him.

So what is the difference between a South London and North London accent?
