Accents are generally about the vowel sounds, there are other factors, but vowels are the gateway to accents.
I found that I could pull of a decent Edinburgh accent after reading trainspotting by Irvine welsh, it was the most challenging book I've ever read because of my dyslexia, and it being written in a Scottish accent, but well worth it.
And no one can do a Birmingham or black country accent, outside of the west midlands, they think they can, but it just ends up some sort of for TV bastardisation of the two that has no likeness to the accents what so ever, the differences are so subtle, its hard to pick up on them, unless you hear them every day |

At least it's not Mummerset. Our West Country language is rich and diverse but it still seems to be de rigeur to take the piss out of it with impunity and mix up all the different dialects into some generic dumb farmer stereotype. Many execrable versions out there but Robbie Coltrane as Hagrid is one I find particularly infuriating. And don't get me started on those bloody hobbits. |

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else |
"Accents-
Welsh
Stereotype London
Camp Yorkshire
Whenever people have tried to do my South Wales accent they sound Pakistani. "
I lived there (wales, not Pakistan ) for a few years in my youth, and have sat next to a guy from Cardiff at work for the last couple of years.
I'm pretty sure my Welsh accent is better than a Pakistan/welsh hybrid... |

A Geordie walks into a shop and asks for a perm.
The shopkeeper turns round and says 'I wandered lonely as a cloud' |
