I have absolutely no idea. It sounds like it's home counties but that's the best I could give you.

Never heard of "home counties" before, had to google it :tongue:

I am originally from Watford but moved to Gloucestershire when I was 14 until I was 19. As far as I know I've never really had a distinctive accent. Neither do my parents, one's Northern Irish and the other's Jamaican but both lost their accents due to travelling after they left home and not going back.

I sound lame, I didn't really know what to say.

I didn't know home counties until recently but I thought it seemed an appropriate way of saying south but not in London. It gives a much greater chance of being correct. I'm not sure how much accents change. I moved from York to Suffolk when I was five. I think I now have a pretty neutral accent.
The site didn't work for me so I attached a narration clip from my 'Viking Age' documentary.

Suggestion to help people avoid the awkward silences on these voice clips: Someone posts a passage or paragraph from a book or an article and the next poster to record their voice must read it out. What do people think?

I might do mine but my accent is so strong there'd be no point guessing, you'll get it straight away.
Subscribed, will do mine in a few minutes.

I love your accent! Despite what you said though, you can tell you're from Edinburgh, though.

Uh, I'll have to have a go at this tomorrow methinks.


Ah, but I'm not from Edinburgh, I'm considerably more northern than that :wink:

I don't know where I got Edinburgh from considering I've never known anyone from Edinburgh who had an accent that sounded even similar to yours. :confused:
I must've been drinking lul.
Inverness? ~_-
EDIT: OH, Aberdeen?
