Accents. Have you got one?

[Buckaroo]

A bit like a member of the Royal family

Hide Lizzy,the Kents are coming.

Note that I didn't say which Royal family one sounds like

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

Obviously I'm so widely travelled and highly educated that I have no discernible accent, but I do like to talk like Eric Cartman from South Park at inappropriate times

And obviously I take any opportunity to talk like a pirate

Do you know all the words to Kyle’s Mom’s a Bitch?

[Skub]

Sorry, come again?

I always assume you sound like that bloke off the telly that's been in some things.

I will find you.....

Call centres are usually placed near cities with low wage rates., nothing to do with accents.

Except Glasgow of course, no bugger can understand a Glaswegegian accent.

My fave West Midlands accent is Dudley (including Tipton, if you're being generous).

The locals pronounce it as 'Doodloy'

<Waves>
Sedgley, Dudley

<waves back> I lived 40 years of my life in Stafford and used to work with a guy from Dudley. I've also been to Gornal (not sure if it was Upper or Lower) to visit Ketley Bricks on a number of occasions.

Got chatting to a Yank in Jamaica some years ago, he was over on business setting up a call centre there. As he said, there's plenty of willing, reasonably well-educated people, but the icing on the cake was the Jamaican accent. Apparently market research of Americans showed that they found the Jamaican accent happy and cheerful. Fair play.

Nottingham so I sound like Sue Pollard, however my Mum was from Yorkshire so some of it must have rubbed off on me - it made my day when a Southerner at work said I was blunt and northern

I'm told we pronounce *all* vowels as a U

Can't be as bad as New Zealand. Place is so poor they can only afford one vowel. All are pronounced 'i' as in 'if'.

Hmm. Maybe combination vowels get treated differently, so house becomes haarss. But otherwise it holds up for 'I'll go to our house' (as in, 'well, I am surprised!') which becomes 'I'll guttr aaar-raarss'.

(I'm from Ayupmiduck land too).

[Taff]

Dragged up in the south Wales valleys, so err, yeah, I've got a bit of an accent

Not sure i'd want patois when discussing errant purchases or overdrafts! Mind you I love sidequestz!

[Yorick]

I imagine @Taipan looking and sounding like Arfur Daley

[MrLongbeard]

Depends who I'm talking too and it what context.
From Leicester and been in Worcestershire for the past 15 years, I tend to get really country bumpkin' when talking to my FiL, only the 3rd or 4th word out of my mouth are actual real words
