Have you ever heard how you sound on a recording OMG I sound like an extra from corrie...lol

And I sound like something out of the Wurzells Hayley

Janetell,there is nothing better than the phone to get you talking in your old accent lol.When I talk to my sister my Oh says he knows who I'm on the phone to as I become more Devonish !!!!!!!!!!

the Wurzels? hmm who is that they like the Dingles?

I didn't used to think I had an accent - in fact, when I went to school, a friend in my class used to say I "talked posh" because she used far more of a Lancashire dialect than I did - but I have got a bit of one now. Somebody at uni (in Leicester) once asked if I was Scottish - I know I'm a northerner but I'm not from that far north!

One of my neighbours who comes from nearer Burnley has a definite "Burnley" accent, and my uncle in Southport has elements of a Liverpudlian-type accent. I've met a few people from the Ormskirk area (this hobby gets you out and about!) and I think they sound slightly Liverpudlian, but not quite!

Weirdly, one of my aunties from Newark (Nottinghamshire) has lived in South Africa for nearly fifty years and she still sounds like she's from Newark (I mixed her up with another of my mum's cousins on the phone once) yet her son sounds really South African.

I love to hear all different accents and dialects .I shall now go to bed and probably dream in a Scottish accent lol.Night Nightx
