    That's got to be the worst accent in the English speaking world - and I'm including Aussie in there <laugh> I don't believe you could possibly sound like that.

    <laugh> I don't think I do sound like that... But I've had several ex Pats ask me if I'm from there. I HOPE it's because I have neither a strong Northern or Southern accent and not like I sound like I'm actually from the Midlands. <laugh>

    When I hear my voice recorded, to me, I still sound like Cheshire but not as strong as it used to be.


    To me the worst accent is the US lower mid-western accent. People from Colorado and near there sound awful to me. Almost like a metallic voice.

    I like all US accents and I've become quite good at identifying accents to States. There's loads of accents like Manchester, some Lancashire, Scots and brummie that are far worse imo.

    I'm used to most. I don't dislike most of them I'I neutral to them... I'm fine with Southwestern. I'm fine with Midwestern... It's the blend I don't like. Colorado, West Texas, Utah, Kansas... That part of the country.

    No, never watched it. The Texas drawl can be annoying as are any of the drawl accents because it sounds like they're putting it on but I quite like it. <laugh>

    I don't know why but I've always had an ear for foreign languages as well and loved learning them in school and Italian as a hobby. I'm a bit weird but you know that by now <ok>

    I think it's probably used all over but the southerners do like a flowery turn of phrase. Actually they like a flowery turn of everything.

    I can't actually think of any actors with southern accents or indeed any film parts displaying it - Forrest Gump is best I can come up with <laugh>

    I've had two coworkers I was sure had to be gay. From the voice to the mannerisms to... Well everything about them looked like a walking stereotype.

    Both turned out to be married with children. I was shocked when I found that out about both of them.
