I want a teacake now.

 

[Craig]

That's a currant teacake.

 

[Magic]

Nah it's a few minutes old by the looks of it.

 

[JaseTheVillain]

Just not as strong...

Mine is pretty much Queen's English.

People often think i'm 'posh'. I'm not posh, just reasonably well educated I suppose.

God that makes me sound like a bit of a cnut!

 

[Dave-Vale]

I don't think I have an accent but I have been told I do have a Stokie accent. Thankfully, I'm from the North of the city so I don't sound like the clowns from the dirty South side of the city.

I can't tell somebody else has the accent from here unless it's in the phone, radio or TV. For example, Phil Taylor has the accent but if I was speaking to him face to face I wouldn't be able to tell he has the accent he does. But when he's on the TV I can tell straight away.

I've been told my accent is similar to Robbie Williams which is fine.

Just a bit?

I don't really agree about the urban/rural divide, I think the accents of local people are just as strong in Norwich as they are in rural Norfolk, although it's probably dying out faster.

I don't get the Aussie thing either, although that's probably because EA accents are much more normal to me.

There is definitely a difference between the Norwich accent and the rural Norfolk accent. I don't know if it's stronger but you can usually tell whether someone is from the city or the country once you get your ear in. I don't think I've got much of an accent myself, just sort of generically south.

That's a proper Radio Norfolk phone in accent. Not quite at the thickness needed to phone in after a 4-0 Norwich win to complain that the team isn't as good as a Norwich side from the 70s but certainly accented enough to get on the air for a rant about an individual player.

Yes, it does!

[You Orns]

I have a weird combination of the Posh Queens english largely spoken in St Albans and the far more Norf London that's spoken in watford, it's fairly generic though, people could say I came from any of the Home Counties accept perhaps essex.

 

[The Southbank]

I've got quite a strong cockney accent despite being Reading born and bred. Having lived down in Portsmouth for a while now, people still assume I'm from London.

 

[BlueBee]

I've got a normal accent. The rest of you should learn how to speak.

 

[St Nick]

Apparently I have a typical Hampshire accent, but to me it seems like most of the home counties accents are very similar. Seems a very poor accent for people to place too, when at University everyone assumed correctly I was from the South but they really couldn't place it anywhere. Though its an accent that can go from cockney to posh in the space of a few words..

Hampshire is not a home county, mush.

 

[SALTIRE]

Refined Dundonian accent here. Can flick in and out of broad Scots/English at will depending on the situation.

 

[Alan Partridge]

Fow-er bangs eh.

Dead eh.

 

[Viv Aldi]

Fow-er bangs eh.

Dead eh.

Weirdest accent going. Like an amalgamation of every northern accent and Scottish

I don't have a microphone, otherwise you'd all get to hear my dulcet tones.

Likewise. I've lived in South London all my life. Despite my parent's best efforts to get me to speak properly, I've ended up with a sort of well spoken estuary accent. Bearing in mind that a lot of my peers at secondary school ended up speaking broad cockney, I'll live with what I've got.

 

[mowgli]

The first 38 years of my life i lived in Soth Bucks so had a Londonish accent but i've lost it after 17 years in Somerset i sound like a wurzel.

 

[hodge]

Moved to Somerset when I was 8 didn't think I'd picked up any accent until I went up north for uni and it got noticed straight away, wouldn't say its heavy or anything but has its moments.

 

[Skinner]

Us southerners have an advantage mind. We go north and your birds are virtually laying down legs spread because of our accents, but when northern lads come down here, our birds think you're c***.

We win imo

 

[TomPNE94]

Yeah but American birds love a northern accent, so in my opinion, we win.

 

[Magic]

And if you have a fairly plain English accent the women just ignore you altogether.

 

[sl1k]

I've two very different tongues. One min I'll sound like a road man from the East End, then switch it up to proper Queen's English next.

Yerrrrrr gemmeeeeeeeee

 

[Skinner]

What?
