I was always treated as "thick" with my Yorkshire accent when I worked darn sarf. I couldn't get them to understand that the Eastenders' estuary English is not accent free. Yeah, yeah, I know wotcha sayin darlin'.

I remember my mother rhapsodising - in a slightly patronising way - about how "straightforward" and "direct" and "down to earth" my new girlfriend was. I asked her what she meant, and it turned out that what she meant was that she pronounced her U's funny.

Seems to be a specific south eastern thing, that. I've met plenty that remark on people's accents yet don't hear their own, the facking mags.

@Laurie_Beth spoke so fast with a Welsh accent in seminars, I genuinely didn’t know which country she was from.

I’m from South Wales and never felt like I had much of an accent until I went to Uni and people thought I was speaking Welsh when on the phone speaking to my folks.

As a kid I could recognise a Surrey accent just like you might recognise a Yorkshire one.

without being intrusive wondering when that was and which Surrey accent, because I remember a variety. I have an accent that seems to tell people I come from a different background to the one I do come from. It was weird as a child to told I was posh when I wasn't...

Oh the H thing is SO ANNOYING, both in terms of people’s obsession with correcting you, and not knowing the sectarian history of that pronunciation means you really shouldn’t do so.
