Re: Do you have a strong accent?

I was born and raised in the Black Country (West Midlands of England for our non-UK members) and used to have a very strong BC accent. This is NOT the same as a Birmingham accent, which is usually used to portray people from the BC area.

Since leaving school, I've worked all over the world so I've had to work hard to iron out my accent as much as possible to be understood. Now I'm back in the Midlands, some people think I might be Italian (I lived there for 14 years).

Do you know the song, "On Ilkley Moor baht 'at"?

I had to have it translated into English for me when I lived in Lincolnshire.
I will Google the song 🎶
