I also like a geordie accent.

I am from Glasgow but don't have the broad accent, sometimes classed as quite well spoken Glasgwegian.

Hi Chrisov

How are you? Good to see you.

Both Norfolk and Suffolk accents are lovely. Do you have a mixture of the two?

Hi Joan I was in London once on the tube and a chap said I cant place your accent I said I am from Norfolk and he looked at me as If Norfolk was another planet and he said I thought your accent was New Zealand how strange was that ???

I think my accent is really weird.

My Mum and Dad are from the black country but we live in Staffordshire in a part where they have a very clear accent.

My boyfriend is also a black country lad and I went to uni in the black country so I picked up loads of phrases.

I live quite near to Stoke so I have a Staffordian with a bit of Stoke and Black Country thrown in.

To some Londoners, Norfolk is another planet :!: ( no offence to any Londoners- I did say some :!: )

Don't think it sounds much like a New Zealand accent though :!:
