:-D BC. And Island. My accent is not as broad as Barb's post lol! I don't use the West Country speech as such, at least not that I am aware of. OH's father used to speak something like that Barb although Devon is different to Glos, and Glos is different to Forest :-D I have probably absorbed a mixture of all and some of Hampshire is similar too so I am a bit of a hybrid. As an example I use the long A in bath (Barth not bath). Working with the services though for 20 years I got used to hearing most accents. The hardest one to understand for me when I was hard of hearing before I had hearing aids, was a Glaswegian accent, difficult to lip read to help. The worst interview for a job I ever had was by a Glaswegian man with a beard. Couldn't hear him and couldn't read his mouth.

When I first can to Essex Jax I really thought thats how ppl spoke, but they don't I like the accent now Im used to it. Im not sure if its strong enough to cover my drawl, but when I go home the can hear it a little in my voice.

Are you reading that paper your'e sitting on?

Most of the filming in Towie from what I could see, was in Brentwood....In all the years I lived in that town....cannot say I have heard anyone speak like that, nor in any of the other Essex places I have lived and worked.

There a a few accent's I do not like...well they may grate on me a bit, but would not be so insulting as to say which ones on here

David, Rab C Nesbitt used to make me laff so much. Even with the swearing x

LOL, David,

All my ancestors from parents are Scott's, so no problem...LOL.

Foggy

Would you like to to attempt a conversersation with Rab C Nesbitt?

I really don't mind any accent so long as its not overdone and becomes non understandable.

I find some a little hard like Glaswegian or northern Ireland, but hey Ho still OK.
Myself as I am originally from London I expect you would say I am a cockney.

Foggy
