I don't think I've seen this posted here, by all means give it a try

I got "Spectacularly South-East." :oops: :)

Which is quite true.

It's Buzzfeed, of course it's [LIFTED]. Doesn't mean it's not fun.

I got the same.
I mean, c'mon, have you actually heard the way I speak and the words/phrases I use?!?
(I understand that most here actually haven't, so you can be forgiven for that.)

I'm south east too.
And I vouch Mark is very northern from the wrong side of the Pennines :D

Done it twice with slightly different answers and still got south east. I'm from Birmingham but lost my accent within months of moving to Hampshire. I've since have had people ask where I'm from as I often appear to have no accent, which is a bit strange.

The worst thing about me is that I subconsciously seem to pick up accents. Stick me in a room of, say, Irish people and I'll start sounding like I'm taking the mick out of Irish people. Currently I spend a lot of time at work chatting to one of the docs from yorkshire and consequently I've stopped saying "morning" and have started saying "aright?"

I'd swear at you, but the forum would censor me, so what's the point ... oh what the hell [LIFTED] little [LIFTED]

Spectacularly South-East. Good to see Yorkshire hasn't polluted my gorgeous Bedfordshire dialect :lol:

Either in the four short years I've lived in the south I've shed all of my northern traits, or this is a load of bollox.

I think it's broken. I am at times West Country or rather northern, definitely not south east :s

'You got: Spectacularly South-East.'

Beyond wrong.

My accent's quite soft I'm told (though it goes to the extremes right and quick like most Ulstermen) but I use a lot of the local phrases, and with one side of the family being a bit rough around the edges and the other middle class, certain words and phrases come out sounding posher than they should :oops: .

Voices and speech patterns stick in my head and sometimes I'm not bad at mimicking them... As a result I tend to collect and overuse local phrases!
