Re: Where are you from
I was born and brought up on the London/Surrey border (well not literally, but in that general area!) and have a polite-ish London accent

Re: Where are you from
My mum was from Clydebank and I spent many happy holiday up visiting the family up there from when I was little! I remember Whitecrook Street and Bon Accord Street, Barns Street - last went up there about 3 years ago and it had changed so much over the years!

Re: Where are you from
Have a neutral southern accent although some Wiltshire sneaks in now and then (gurul for girl especially). Lived in too many places to have a particular accent.
I had to phone the police last night for something and I had to repeat every sentence as she couldn't understand me!!

Re: Where are you from
Born in Palermo Ontario Canada, moved to Dundas Valley Ontario Canada where I lived until age 15. Moved around the country for the next 8 years on my own before settling down in Burlington Ontario for 5 years, then off to Vancouver for 4 years before coming back to Burlington until 3 years ago.
I don't have an accent, it's everyone else who does.
