    British accents are very regional and varied. You can pinpoint somebody pretty accurately geographically by their accent here. I may be totally wrong but it may help to imagine Actors/musicians/celebrities from that region to understand how different each British Poster probably sounds. I have no idea but here are some guesses

    I get some of them, but I think you're dead wrong on Wales beanzy. First off, both of the North Walians you mentioned for Dia Bando are actually from South Wales. I'm open to be corrected by him, but I seem to recall, or at least have the impression that he's from the north east in Flintshire, which is generally a softened scouse accent. Think Michael Owen or something along those lines.

    As for me, as I didn't really speak that much English as a kid, but read a lot in English, I've tended to adapt to where I'm from and who I'm talking to, and have a fairly decent non regional diction. Nonetheless, I've been in South Wales for six or seven years now, but most people I work with will say something along the lines of 'ew tork posh ew doo.'

    Your sister and mom were never hot. Especially not now that they have no teeth. I just keep them around cuz they mastered the gummy blow job.

    I have a scouse accent but I don't live in Liverpool anymore.

    When the locals are so lazy with their words that they start pronouncing "Liverpool" as "Lerpool" you know it's time to leave.

    My accent is quite broad, Steve Bull broad.

    My old man owned a house in Florida once and left me to sort everything out, absolute nightmare having to call the states. I was constantly having to spell everything out over the phone and even then they couldn't understand what letters I was saying. And this was in my best Queens English phone voice too.

    I asked for a crate of Bud Ice once in some 7/11 near Joshua Tree Park in California. The entire store just turned and looked at me. "what you say?" the guy behind the counter said.

    "Bud Ice"

    "What?"

    "Bud Ice"

    "What?"

    "BUD ICE!"

    "WHAT!!"

    "Forget it mate, I'll get Budweiser!".

    Two god damn syllables and they still couldn't understand me.
