I am told I sound like an Essex Girl!!! Was born in London and moved to Harlow in Essex when i was two. Stayed there until i was about 11 or 12 then we moved to several different areas, but apparently i still have the Essex accent.

very slight Derbyshire accent I think. I hate the fact that my voice is high pitched.

I have a west of Scotland accent. I didn't realise how Scottish I sounded until I went on a course in France with a colleague. Everyone said that when listening to the two of us conversing, they couldn't understand a word we were saying, as we talked so fast.

Accentless apparently as I have been born and bred in the South East and spent most of my life here. So, long 'a's for bath, laugh, etc. 'Up' is up, not 'oop' and so on. I am sure I sound 'foreign' to Northeners!

DH also born and bred in SE, but lived for 20 years in Lancs. There he was called 'Southern Dave'. Now he is back South he is referred to as 'Northern Dave'. smile

I had a dreadful stammer as a child brought on by the stress of being separated from my family at 3 years old and put in an isolation ward in hospital. 10 days later I was reunited with the family. Anyway I digress.

I had speech training or elocution as it was called then, so instead of having a Brummie accent I have an accent that I can't define, some say it is cultured, really don't know.

I am on hols in the Midlands and it feels like home to hear the Brummie and Black Country accents.

What do you sound like ?
