Accents

Ussd to be able to tell roughly which area of Manchester as I'm sure many here could

I know foreigners find the variations in accent in the UK uniquely vast

I've still not heard a worst accent than Stoke

Ooh I'll raise you Burnley, that's a really unattractive accent! especially on a girl.
 
Personally I don't think I have an accent. Was born and brought up in Leeds but my parents were from South East London and Lincolnshire, and I've now lived in Staffordshire for about 20 years. Over the years I've worked in Leeds, York, Doncaster, Birmingham and London.
When I worked in London, my colleagues could tell I was "northern" but couldn't place where from. When I return to Leeds, I sound nothing like any of my mates, and I certainly don't have a Staffs accent!
Maybe I've just become "generic Northern" as I've moved around so.much?
Same. We’re a family from Lincolnshire. No one ever places the accent.

I lived in York and Scarborough for ten years and they couldn’t work out other than Northern.

In Dubai, they haven’t the foggiest of Scunthorpe.
