@process @FrankCannon @q00w2 Having grown up in Wales, moved to Scotland at 18 years old, having spent a lot of time with American and Australian folk, my accent is a real mix! The place I live has its own quirky accent too, so that comes out now and then. But it's funny, people still say to me, underneath all the mix, I still sound Welsh! I think it depends who I am speaking with at the time. I tend to mimic theirs a lot! Quite naturally, without trying.

@homebird I haven't lived in Liverpool for over 40 years now,still have the accent.πŸ‘ @process @q00w2

@q00w2 Amy's had to translate several times over here.πŸ˜‚ Still not changing my accent. @homebird @process

@FrankCannon @homebird @process

Well, to be fair, I'd need a translator too if I was in Alabamaβ€”to understand them. πŸ˜‚

@q00w2 That's the thing,I understand them perfectly but when I open my gob,the blank looks I get....near think I was speaking Scousr.πŸ˜‚ @homebird @process

@FrankCannon @q00w2 @homebird @process

You know you'd go viral if you made some YT shorts about your intercultural encounters..

@LiseL Even of they didn't like me they'd still be polite about it.πŸ˜‚ @q00w2 @homebird @process

@FrankCannon @q00w2 @homebird @process

The downside is that all the babes here would be swooning over your accent. Amy would be perpetually annoyed. πŸ˜‚

@FrankCannon @q00w2 @homebird @process

Of course: it's universal. Nothing sexier than a Scouse accent. Except for a Donegal accent, a fact that has been proven by science. I believe we've discussed this before...πŸ˜‚

@LiseL A lot of places in the UK aren't very welcoming to someone with my accent,most especially Southern England. @q00w2 @homebird @process

@FrankCannon @LiseL @q00w2 @homebird

London in the 90s was great craic having a Northern Irish Accent.

"Hello do you know where..."

Every feckin time. Having long hair and looking like I'd done a stint in Long Kesh probably didn't do me any favours tbh.

@process Spot on.I remember being outside Buck House with a bunch of Rangers years back,day off,in civvies.Tons of cops turned up and started questioning the large group with terrorist accents.πŸ˜‚ @LiseL @q00w2 @homebird

@FrankCannon @LiseL @q00w2 @homebird

It came in handy if someone started on you. Just start speaking and they backed down. But yeah, was never great speaking near a Policeman. 101 questions.

@process I open me gob down there,I get people checking their wallet's still there. @LiseL @q00w2 @homebird
