I'm one of those many people that think they speak mainly in RP (few slips here and there) but doesn't really know for sure, I used to sound very common before I went to college.


I think that is what my accent is but I am unsure.

You seem cool. What made you choose that course?



I went to the Royal Derngate Theatre and the Shoe Museum haha. Have you ever visited Bedfordshire or rather Bedford?



It is still pretty. The accent seems so joyful and happy.

Actually, mechanical things fascinate me by how they work. Like a mechanical clock, you see how time is kept constant, just by simple gears. The engineering behind that simple instrument is just incredible.

I speak with the RP (Received Pronunciation) accent so it is fairly standard.

The sexiest and nicest accent in all the land.


Lies! It's clearly the Kerry accent!

Note that the Irish have at least 64 accents, at least 2 for each county, notably Northside Dublin and Southside Dublin (which is like an Irish RP); and Cork and West Cork.

British accent



I find British accents very unattractive.
Apart from hot women's RP.

That is a good joke even if it's old :tongue:

Scouse or 'plastic' scouse, depending on whether that person is from Merseyside or not.

Wait you didn't know?! It is a cool museum. I do apologise for the bad experience you had of our town, I can assure you we are not all weirdos. That sounds creepy and so scary.

Good evening to you too bhaijaan :biggrin:
I don't really have an accent. I pronounce things clearly and correctly (as per the North) when sober but when drunk my accent gets pretty strongly North Western.
Guess.

It would be so cool if you could speak it, you would get a good job. Can you understand it if someone speaks it to you?

It is still cool. I sound posh when my cousins from Yorkshire come down, but people from Yorkshire are so friendly from the way they speak.
