Born in Preston, moved every 3 years until I was 34. Now 4 years in Perth is the longest I have lived anywhere my whole life. Sound a little northern, ie. I say BATH not BARTH.

Worcestershire/Warwickshire border for me. Worked in Birmingham for a good while and then Wales, Wiltshire, Berkshire, and a few other places. So I've got a brummie twang with a mix of lots of other accents including now a spot of Aussie creeping in!

And I say GRASS not GRARSS. DANCE not DARNCE. PINT O'BEER not a WHITE WINE SPRITZER!

I'm from Cheltenham as well, but work in Bristol (for 1 more week anyway) so i work with people who speak like worzel gummidge, but to be fair they ask for a go on my combine harvester as way of comeback
