	Obviously I dont think I have an accent and have lived in the West Country just over 5 years now. I find I can understand people easier than I used too, it all sounded very odd at first - especially putting L's on the end of things - what a good Idea'l' is a classic of my mother in laws for a good idea - but I dont think my accent has changed.......however, when I was in London the other week a freind asked why I kept saying 'Mind' at the end of my sentances .....

	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.
