Black73CatHehe! Good question, my accent is very varied. As a bit of an explanation, here we go...Born SUNDERLAND, moved to Northumberland (Ponteland) aged 7 til 16 then to Bournemouth, then joined RAF and lived in Lincolnshire, South Wales then 8 years in rural Oxfordshire. Not only living in other areas but living with people with lots of different accents. Then moved to Nottinghamshire where I still live. I am the type of person who picks up accents very easily (i think there's a medical type name for it?) My Mam was born in Stockton (where my Grandad is from) and she grew up in Hartlepool (Seaton Carew) My Dad is from Co Durham (Seaham.) The only real contact that I still have in the NE are my Cousins and Uncle/Aunty who still live in Hartlepool.
There you go, I could have given you the short answer but decided to bore you to tears instead! :-) Right, I'm just going to go and bash my head off a wall in an attempt to ease the pain of being told that I sound " a bit Ge***ie!" <shudders> Lived all over but will always be proud to call myself a MACKEM! :-) Cheers. Graeme.
sm2nI enjoy your boos, so please don't go private.
