What kind of accent do you speak with?

[TheBigYinJames]

Anglified Glaswegian.

[basshead]

I speak with an Indian accent.

"Many white faces come over mountain with firesticks, take squaw to teepee."

Gives me a certain mystique when describing the ins and outs of a customers load balancing strategy.

"Many signal down one side go, down other side need to go same. Take squaw to teepee."

[Bob Dalek]

Is that somewhere like Tottenham?

Think educated Chester + educated London. Or mongrel.

[DiscoStu]

I speak like Yoda.

I'm a great help to developers when describing defects - "Broken it is, mmmmmmmm"

[HairyArsedBloke]

Ah, the south of the north not the north of the south.

[PRC1964]

I make the Queen sound like a chav.

[MarillionFan]

I speak Geezer. Obviously.

[realityhack]

Apparently I do a decent impression of the shipping forecast...

Northerner with RP, (NE England), good capacity for mimicry but it has to be a conscious effort. If there are people around me with strong accents it just reinforces my RP, oddly.

Elocution lessons as a child, sadly. I like the NE accent.

And I am the opposite - if I am talking to anyone with a strong accent I will end up trying to sound like them, some people think I am taking the pi$$.

I LOVE accents and always enjoy trying to pinpoint where in the country someone comes from by their accent.

Not sure how mine presents itself though. I was born and grew up in the west-country, but other than prounouncing the occasional word with the west-county twang I don't think that it would be obvious. There are a few on here that have met me and might think differently
