Born in North London but lived most of my life in West Sussex ending up in Littlehampton before moving here.I have no accent and my 5 year old sounds more Aussie than English though Aussie friends think she sounds cockney!Sue.

I'd have thought two schooners of piss was more than enough for anyone to handle?

Re: Where are you from

Birmingham, originally. Moved to Milton Keynes (an hour North of London) and lived as a 'plastic cockney' for 4 years and have been travelling abroad for over a year now, in Oz for 10 months.

I don't really sound like a brummy much anymore, but i still say 'bath' not 'barth' etc. etc.
