Yorkshire lass here....I'm sure I have a Yorkshire accent I often go into 'ee bah gum' mode when it suits me too especially around posh folks

Re: Do you have a strong accent?

I'm a Brummie living in Wiltshire. It's hard to assess your own accent, but strangers sometimes recognise I'm from the Midlands, so perhaps it's stronger than I think it is - although when I return to Brum I hear accents a lot thicker than mine arounde me. Or so I think ...

What bugs me if when people assume I'm from the Black Country!

You are right about it being hard to assess your own accent....i would say I havent got an accent until I hear a recording of my voice ....thats always a shock....who is that person
