What do you sound like ?

Northumbrian born and bred (Alnwick) however I have lived in Yorkshire for the last 20 years.
Recently I recorded an (Ansaphone) message for our new house phone . When I played it back I was surprised how broad my accent is. Thought it might have watered down since we moved to Yorkshire. No way.!

London. I used to sound quite cockney in my younger days but I think that's moderated to a sort of Janet Street-Porter now. I read recently that she was born in my original neck of the woods so that explains it. I tend to revert naturally to the cockney if I meet up with old friends, though, me ol' cock sparrer.

I'm amazed at the diversity of our accents. Despite living in Fife for 37 years I still, apparently, have a 'posh' southern accent. I was once told I sound like Princess Anne which was a bit of a shock..... I can, when the occasion demands, change my accent to suit .

was it a Fifer who said you sound like Princess Anne Marmight? Depending where in Fife you go sometimes even us Scots need an interpreter..lol

No Paddy it was a sassenach?. I can do a braw Fife accent when required.......
