My liverpool accent that is, despite living in south liverpool all my life the accent is no longer recognisable, this is down to the mrs and the job i’ve done over the years, have you lost your local accent because you’ve not been around those native to your city long enough? |

20 plus years living in England and I had a weird northern Irish / London twang. Back living in Northern Ireland and my accent is back as thick as ever. I still work in England and my boss keeps teasing he needs an interpreter for me.

"I bet you’ve not and you just think you have.
Yep. When people say they have no accent or they've lost one. No, it's just milder.  "
actually it has gone, ive had a few people who have visited at work and wondered where i’m from “cause you don’t sound scouse”  |

I have a strange blended accent as I have lived in the North for 20 years now. When I go back down south my accent definitely changes but also I really notice the southern accents and they grate on me now.

I don't have an accent, the local accent where I'm from is strong, but think years of working customer services has just given me a posh soft phone voice  |

Everyone says this to me here too because I'm originally from south London so compared to locals I don't sound scouse at all but people from outside of Liverpool can often pick up a hint of scouse. |

"I had a soft dales accent as a kid, but then I was sent to high school in Harrogate. Now I get accused of being a posho. I love regional accents."
You have a glorious voice but not a posho (don't listen to those people, they don't know posho accents). |

Thank you Meli, I don't think I'm a posho either. |

My accent is that broad that even Devonian’s who have never left the county don’t know what the fuck I’m talking about. They just usually say ‘Haha, get don bay!’ and walk away. |

Yours isn't that broad! Although I do love the way you say 'basket', it's more like 'baaahsket'. |
