Never heard you speak!

Would never have known your origins if you'd not told me.

It's a strong accent and it sounds Brummie until I hear you talking with someone with a Brummie accent and then it's plainly not.

Lancashire? No, but something similar. Curiously, your up-and-down intonation is quite similar to nattydreadi and he's Northern irish by way of Sunderland, which tends to suggest North east.

Sorry, accent and regional variation in speech patterns fascinates me.

I'm terrible at accents. For me it seems to be a mix of the two I ticked. I can hear some scouse but that comes with living with a scouse for 5 years...

mostly its close to RP for me, but with Northern overtones - that for me are echoe lancashire relatives a little.
Not brummie - compare you even to naturalised Brummies like Camilla and you don't have the picked up bits. And not scouse - you don't have the thick k's or the whineyness

Seems like I went for the popular answer :)

Well I've said scouse, but it comes and goes depending on what you're saying and how you're saying it (such as if you're angry/stressed etc).

"Fur trade wine" is the best example I can think of atm for the former.

There's bits of everything in there north of Watford Gap - I mean, I know where you're from & all, but it's not really your accent any more. There are distinct elements from both side of the Pennines, but they sound buried under a professional RP which tends only to crack and reveal what lies beneath once you've had a real skinful. Basically like any well-travelled person, you've picked up bits and pieces from everywhere you've spent any serious amount of time.

I fear that I cannot remember what your voice sounds like... :-(

See my LJ for comments on my memory...

Hmm, I can tell you are not far from Liverpool but not a proper scouse accent at all...just in the vacinity there of.

Bah. I didn't read LJ until after midnight!
