My accent varies depending on who I am talking to, where they are from, where in the country we are at the moment, even where are we talking about. Overall, I'd suggest that it's reasonably neutral. In the days when I drank alcohol, the more I drunk, the further north my accent got.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI hadn't really understood this 'pwned' expression until I read DirtyDog's post.Comment

When I'm back in my home town all my mates think I'm a right stuck up posh twat. To be fair, haven't lived there for 25 years, went to college in England, lived in England for bit, do contracts in England etc so I guess my accent has gone a bit.
Then again saying that you can guarantee whenever I go to new client they're convinced I've got the strongest welsh accent they've ever heard. And yes the sheep jokes.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
