Your accent

[Relentless]

Sorry Relentless but I get where people are coming from when they think you're Scottish. Definitely a twang there to it.

I've never even been North of Yorkshire

 

[JonBCFC]

I consider mine normal-southern. Thankfully i dont have the Bristol accent, as i live 20 minutes outside of the place.

 

[spireite]

I'm not picking up the Scottish at all!

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

Do people from Coventry have an accent?

Do people from Coventry have an accent?

Yeah you all sound northern

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

Yeah you all sound northern

Well I have a northernish accent then.

 

[RavenBish]

Do people from Coventry have an accent?

Yes, a fucking terrible one, just like the rest of the west midlands unless you're from a nice village in Warwickshire or something.

 

[Veggie Legs]

How do people from Suffolk sound?

This is a really good example, you might have to sign up to listen to it but it's definitely worth it. https://audioboom.com/boos/2773676-greatstorm-brian-from-melton-with-nick-pandolfi

Brian from Melton! A friend from uni told me about him once.

I'm fine with Brummie and black Country, but completely agree that the Coventry accent is awful.

I highly recommend listening if you haven't heard it before.

Should've mentioned that I've already listened too! Said friend from uni used to work for Town102 so I know all about Brian.

Nah man, brummie is the worst accent going, I cannot stand it.

Haha, that's superb. My wife has that accent and her parents have even stronger Suffolk accents than that. Took me ages before I could understand her dad. I quite like it.

My children sometimes pronounce words in a Suffolkian way. Scary.

I think I have a relatively mild South Manchester accent. Southerners immediately notice I'm Northern but struggle to pick exactly where I'm from. Admittedly this may be as much about their poor geography as the nuances of my accent.

My gf is from Norwich but she has a generic Southern accent (as do her best friends from school). I think there's a big urban/rural divide in East Anglia. Head 5 miles out of Norwich or Ipswich and everyone sounds like a country bumpkin with an Aussie twang. Jogging = Jargon? Okay...

 

[stripey_nigel]

Bromley born and bred, which is on the outskirts of South East London, so I guess I must have a London stroke North Kent accent

My wife's parents live very close to the centre of Ipswich but are born and bred in the town and have very strong Suffolk accents. Unfortunately I think the Suffolk accent is being pushed out by a bit more of an Essex twang in the larger towns.

Kent.

Where was you born? Mayday?

 

[Pliny Harris]

That Suffolk accent's dead nice. Very clear but individual. I honestly would've confused it with a Brizzle accent.

One of my favourite thingies is the Survey of English Dialects recorded in various rural areas from 1950–61. The one from nearby Heptonstall makes me proud. Suffolk hasn't really changed much.

[Skinner]

Our firms secretary birds are from Norfolk, it's not much different to London and they sound fucking fit

 

[Tilbury]

Thame estuary. Bit of a mix between cockney and Essex but not that strong.

I think it's more commonly known as Estuary English. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estuary_English

 

[Womble98]

All my mates think I speak quite poshly to be honest.

 

[mistermagic]

Mine is strange. Only the English can tell that I sound French as the Welsh, Scottish and Irish think I sound English. Also funny that expats who have left England for a long time (10-20 years) reckon I have an English accent. It's kinda British Yorkshire (which is where the English part of my family is from) with a French intonation. Or something.

Know a lad from Bridlington in East Yorks, very similar accent to you

 

[Stagat]

We don't have accents in Nottingham, not like those weird Sheffield wannabes up norf in notnumshur.

and yes, they're called cobs. Birds bakery 4 lyf.

Ayup youth.

Inner city Notts accents make you lot sound like rude boys to us from the sticks.

I've had to tone my accent down due to teaching in Asia and I don't reckon it'll ever recover its former glory, with any luck. Last time I went home me brother actually asked me what was wrong with me voice.

additional: cobs, of course
