where are you from?

out of interest tonks, what accent do you have?? i love how accents change so quick! i had an english accent til i started primary school, cos my parents and all their friends were airforce, then it went really really horrible broad scottish and within a month of moving to england i was english again!! funnily enough tho, when my sister sings, she uses scottish vowels!
 
A very varied one :lol:

Scottish people can tell I'm from Scotland, but English people don't tend to know where I'm from. :lol: I have a soft Scottish accent with a bit of Irish and a bit of American thrown in. Different words bring out different sides of it. It's all a bit bizarre :rofl:
 
:D

I was born in Oxford, raised in Cape Town and Johannesburg and now live in Luton, Bedfordshire (not really an exciting town... but here for hubby's work!)

I was born in Oxford too and all my family live around there, but moved down to Sussex when my mum met my stepdad. Now we live 10mins from Brighton :)
 
lol i love how varied accents get! i always know when my mum's been talking to my grandad or my aunty cos she's really devonshire, when normally she's all prim and proper :lol: and my dad goes really lancashire on occasions, but really posh if he's on the phone!!

I know what u mean, I was yorkshire born, grew up in Cambridge and now back near to my roots, so have a fairly mixed accent I think, but on the phone to my cousin who is broad yorkshire I suddenly get broad yorkshire too... but can I hell put it on for anyone!!
 
I was born and raised in Cheshire, then moved around a lot over the last 10 years but have just moved back to Cheshire as no where else felt like home. I'm picking up my northern accent again which I love!
 
We live in North Wales, I'm originally a Chester girl but I spent all my teen years in Northern Ireland and miss it very much!

I was the opposite of that - I had a scottish accent until I started primary school, then southern english... then I lived in the midlands for years and I didn't think I sounded any different but to people down here I did. I think I must be back to southern again now :lol:
 
I live on the staffordshire/cheshire border (literally!)
