Re: Do you have a strong accent?

My accent is Doric undercut with 20 years of Shetlandic (as above post), so quite strong. More Shetlandic when stressed or tired.

Oh! I used to speak Doric when I lived up north. Only with friends though - had to speak "properly" when I got back home, haha!

Oh I used to live in Leeds for a while. Went back down there a few years ago for a holiday, and chatted with a lady in a shop. Left with a bag of groceries and a Yorkshire accent. Took me ages to revert to my own voice!
