its a bit like cockney only worse (no offence to people with the accent!)
It has a bit of a west-country, Cornish kind of twang to it.

Not the most pleasant accent in the world, but definitely not the worst. Scouse holds that accolade. :cool:

I don't notice the cockney part myself. But it's a sort of mixture of southern and west country, if you can imagine that.

No, hehe. My bf is a Plymouth person ... kinda cute! ... and he doesn't sound like my friend who lives in Pompey.

But yeah, I can't quite put my finger on how it sounds.

Yeah same.
I have family in Plymouth and it's where my mum is from. People that know this always say she comes from Portsmouth and I'm going to uni in Plymouth. They are always being confused.

It's got a definite twang. Couple of guys I know who are from Portsmouth have such obvious accents which I can hear clearly.. it's funny :tongue: It's got a bit of South London in it but its not as "strong".. I really can't describe it except for...
