Dad was in the forces so never really stayed in one place long enough to pick up a specific accent. Everyone says I have one but no-one can actually place it when I ask them what they think it is

What is a "regional" accent? England and Scotland are two constituent countries of the United Kingdom. You could say that educated speakers from the region around the capital in both countries are the definition of "standard" accents in each of those two countries, and accents based in other parts of those two countries are "regional". But actually there is much more regional variation in England than in Scotland. So Scottish accents in general tend not to be "regional", whereas most English accents are "regional".Comment
