But which Aussie accent don't people like ?
I am told I sound English, whatever that means.
This is a huge country .
Aren't there several accents in London alone ?
We even have speech differences in a small city like ours.
Do you judge by soapies ?
Shall we ? I don't like the accents on some of the pom soapies we cop, but I understand they are not representative of an entire country. emoticon

Australian accents I don't mind.

As for my own personal accent, I don't think I have one, although some claim they hear a northern one with the exception of me using the slang y'all way too much.



I find myself saying y'all a lot too. emoticon

I'm not sure if I have an accent, or if I have one what it would be called. emoticon I definitely don't have a twangy Texan accent that some people who aren't from Texas think most Texans have.

I like all kinds of accents. I like to listen to them and figure out what region/state/country a person comes from. emoticon

Speaking of Accents .....Noddy Holder is about to reform Slade and he walks into Harrods to get some original gear from the 70s ........he explains this to the assistant who says "would sir like a kipper tie"

to which he replies ..........

"Oh thank you very much...2 sugars please"



think about it, think about it ...er ..I'll get me coat.............

I read some research about call centres recently, and it said that Scottish, Welsh and Yorkshire are the preferred accents, Birmingham is the least-trusted emoticon
