So - have you been told that you have an accent?

Despite the fact I've lived in the same area all my life, locals come up to me all the time and ask me where my accents from >< I've been told it sounds American, Australian, Irish, Scottish and South African...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Portsmouth accents are too common to be counted as a true Southern accent dahmit! :P

There's nowhere I can't reach.

maybe so, but southern accents are traditionally a bit more... well spoken?
most areas of the south have been filled by Londoners though so the accent's somewhat disappearing. Probably explains why people don't believe mine is local though, what with me having a nice posh accent...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
