    received English, but not overly received.

    I'm from West London, so I sound like a news reader,
    except I say "joost" instead of "just" - picked that up from studying in York.

    My mom and family are Capers. Spent a good amount of time there as a kid.

    I guess it struck me as odd 'cause as a person who call tell a Newfie from a Caper from a Mainland Coaster, I don't think they sound *that* close to be mistaken as Scottish or Irish.

    Yep. Interestingly I have a cousin from Tunbridge wells who says "just" and "but" the same way because her father (my uncle) is from North Yorkshire.

    Lower-middle class London accent. I almost sound posh, but then I leave the 't's and 'l's out of the middle and end of words.

    British Army accent with a hint of Scottish/Irish.
    Basically;
    I'm Irish when drunk or romancing.
    I'm Scottish when fighting or romancing.
    I'm English when complaining or debating.

    :p

    That sounds posh to you? :eek:
    My accent is perhaps a little lazier than his...but, yeah...I can identify with his accent.
    Gary went to my school, and grew up around here, so we share a similar accent. But he's been out of town for quite a few years...so perhaps his accent has slightly "improved". It still sounds remarkably like me though.

    It does sound posh, but not bad in any way.

    Depending on who I am speaking to, I can sound horribly posh, not as bad as this guy though:

    Thanks.

    I'm going to have you speak like that video when I am reading your post, sorry.

    Btw, was that Oz satirical humour?
    I say stick to soap operas.

    It wasn't supposed to be an example of our comedic standards.

    However, depending on which show you watch, we are very hit and miss and I do agree that we could work on our wit a little.

    I can do any accent in the UK I want, and I vary it according to my mood and what I just ate for luncheon. When I am immortal I'll probably end up talking like Connor McLeod.
