svetigpung Posted 30 September, 2012 Share Posted 30 September, 2012 A cross between Benny Hill and Mick Channon. Sounds perrrfect to me. I personally never had a proper ampshire accent or so i thought so. Unfortunately twenty years in scandoland has now given me a slight Sven-Göran touch to my english...and believe me it is embarassing. Just think of gold old SSSSteve in Holland. Love hearing a good old hampshire and Dorset accent when you hear one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Majestic Channon Posted 30 September, 2012 Share Posted 30 September, 2012 Sounds perrrfect to me. I personally never had a proper ampshire accent or so i thought so.

Love hearing a good old hampshire and Dorset accent when you hear one. After 12 years down in skåne my accent is thankfully still hampshire, much to the amusement of workmates who i speak only swedish with. Lately though i keep having to stop myself using swedish grammar when speaking english my 7 year old has a mixture of english and swedish accents when he speaks english.

The9 Posted 4 October, 2012 Share Posted 4 October, 2012 (edited) Everyone has an accent Turkish, you just need to move away from where you are to find out what yours is. Have you ever lived anywhere else? I have a remarkably non-specific accent, everyone else I know who was born where I was sounds like Tony Pulis or most of Goldie Lookin Chain (clart) or that bird who liked blinking off early Big Brother (also went to my school), but aside from dropping my aitches when I'm not thinking about it, and the occasional Newporty-Welshish twang when shouting or when I get excited, I sound pretty generically southern British with a few "tells". Basically I lived on a dodgy council estate until I was 9, and my mum and grandmother made sure I spoke well so I didn't end up staying there. B Rabbit bugging me about how to say "year" has also assisted with modifying this in the past 6 "yee-uhs" (not "yurrrs")... When I was on an 8 month national software roll-out with an obviously Newport-sounding colleague we used to ask the staff where they thought we were from - in about 20 different places they never once worked out we were from the same place, and we were actually born in the same hospital.
