	my eldest and lad stand out as they have southern acents (now live in midlands) but tiddler who was born here has a midlands accent. Me and hubby keep being told you arent from round here are you only been here 7 years but obviously the southern accent is still there or in my case more Londony and hubbys is mingled with a devon one.
