For the record I only have a slight Baltimore accent.

I'm not as country as this guy, but it's hard not to talk this way when you live in Western Kentucky. He lives about fifteen minutes from me - I love how people underestimate a person with a southern accent. Keep on thinking we're stupid because of the way we talk. It makes it easier for us to take you to the cleaners

Almost everyone I know has an accent, except the people who live where I do, (Unless they are originally from somewheres else...)
NORTH EAST ACCENT!this is how we sound before we are drunk!

Don't have an accent in my area, unless you're someone that moved from an area that you had one in.
I speak scouse, though not broad.

I don't have much of an accent. Well, that is a lie as everyone has an accent of some kind, but I don't really have a distinctive regional accent. I spent too much of my childhood moving region to region to ever get set into talking a set way. I suppose if anything my accent is more RP (recieved pronunciation) than anything else. My parents both have distinctive Sussex accents whilst my sister has a Yorkshire inflection. I don't have either but sometimes find my accent responding to whoever I am conversing with at the time.
I honestly never thought I had an accent, until just recently, and that everyone else did. As I have started to meet people from other places in the last year, them laughing at me while I talked and calling me a Yooper, well, that was the first tip off I might in fact have a bit of one.
