Accents

[Goodsoulette]

My Gran who I havent seen for a couple of years, as she lives abroad has just informed me that my accent has got much stronger and she suspects thats to do with the man I live with. That's probably true, as his accent was always much stronger than mine. she's looking at it as a bad thing and thinks it's just as well "i'm going to be a nurse" as otherwise my west country accent would hold me back in life.

So would you assume that I was a bit thick because I have an accent? Or specifically because it's west country? or do you immediately look down on someone for having any kind of regional accent?
