Despite speaking in a slightly rough north Dublin accent, I sometimes think in an English accent. I don't do it consciously, it just sort of happens. It's a little strange, but I like it. It's like sharing my head with Stephen Fry.

Hello Cat. *wink*

Your accent was rather Essexy. I guess.

I'm not as knowledgeable about British accents as most of you presumably are, though I've read a decent amount on the net about the subject and of course have been listening to this thread's posts.

Essex is basically a branch of London accent that combines cockney with general...bad speech. Like the loss of h's and t's and general crappyness.

I'm strangely proud of it though, however it definately doesn't comapre to a nice American accent that's for sure.

My apologies if this was already posted earlier in the thread and I missed it:

I love how you're insulting me on ryl now. Cheers. Gay.

And I ain't that bad, I blame my parents for my slightly better speech.
Danz just sounds like an east london taxi driver.

I do not fail!
*grumps*

I meant it as a joke....

I think I may post mine on here because I cant figure out my accent, sometimes its Welsh (I live there now) and some words its Irish (lived there for a few years) and sometimes Ive not got a clue!
So I may upload for people to judge for me =P

Well I have a British accent, I didn't think that counted until I went to Canada and my cousins took the piss.
I love Irish accents. My music teacher has the coolest accent. It's sing-song Irish, and she always sounds soft and gentle, even when she's angry. I joined Glee Club just for the accent, but now I love it (Glee Club)!

Accents are a minefield if you allow them to be. I reckon I can distinguish between at least 20-30 from around UK. But so what? The fact that someone hails from, say for example, the north-east doesn't make them any less worthy than any other UK citizen. They may be just as intelligent/educated as anyone else, and just as good people - or quite possibly better.

But, I have to admit that I find myself amused at someone like Fiona Bruce who's paid huge sums as a newsreader, being unable to pronounce "thousands". It comes out as "fahsends"! However, we all understand her most of the time and that's surely what matters.

And many of our UK accents are delightful. Let's be thankful and enjoy them ...
