I don't believe I have a strong Yorkshire accent, do you have trouble with folks understanding yours. I believe it's more down to local dialect than a language barrier

I still have a slight accent, despite being in the UK for over 30 years.

The accent is more pronounced after I visited my parents, as I have to talk in Cantonese with them.

I do not speak the lingo with anyone else, as I don't mix with anyone Chinese. I may converse and order in Cantonese if I know the staff etc. can speak the lingo.

When abroad on holiday, peeps can tell I am a Brit though, thanks to the advice from my EFL teacher back in 1979, who advised me to ditch the accent in order to get ahead in society etc...

Such advice was the norm in those days, when regional accents were less appreciated.

Scotland for 16 years, London for 20 years, but as the saying goes, "never lost my jaiket", means nothing changed accent wise.

I still have my Lancashire accent, despite the grammar school trying it's best to shake it out of me.

And it's more pronounced when I get angry

I'm told I have a relativley posh accent. I also have hints of australian in my accent.

As far as other people go I adore the irish accent in women. The south african accent is one that makes me laugh a little...

Potteries, Mancunian, Brummy, Liverpool and to some extent Yorkshire accents all sound 'normal' to me.

I think that's down to where I grew up and who I grew up around.

When I first moved down here, everyone sounded Cockney but I can now distinguish bewteen London and Bucks/Herts/Beds accents.

I get told that I have 'no accent' until I say certain words. Exam, but, bus and Mum are apparently sure give-aways.

We're the exact opposites, moved the other way from you. Used to have friends from Hull and Bolton and thought they spoke the same (I know!!!). Now I can tell the difference between Bolton, Wigan, Manchester etc and yes the accents from t'other side of Pennines ha ha

Love surprising people when they expect a broad Bolton accent from us, a Southern accent is the last thing they expect

Hull

I'm Scottish, born in Edinburgh, but lived all around the UK following my father's career, returning north of the border for my Secondary School education.

Left home in 1973 and after working in the Borders for a year, moved South and have been here ever since.

Yes, I now have a softer Scottish accent but when in the company of fellow Scots, I revert to a harder edged tone. Yet, remaining members of my family still up there, reckon they can't understand me as I talk "posh"; I find I cannot understand them either!

But the number of times, people ask me which part of Dublin I come from, if I'd a fiver for each time, I'd have retired by now, mega rich

There is soemthing quite irresistable about a soft Scottish accent...

I have been told I sound somewhere between Welsh and Brum... well I used to work in Wales some years back... and the Brum one has been acquired through a different activity...;-)
