What have you done to fit in?

"i.e. no accent whatsoever. "As far as i can tell that perfectly sums up the Sheffield accent. I haven't spent much time over there, i admit, but when i have been there i haven't noticed anything too accent-y.
I live in Hull myself, but my mum's a bizarre mix of London and Switzerland and my dad's a bizarre mix of London, Cambridge-University-don'tchaknow and Blackpool. This, coupled with my out-right refusal to develop a proper Hull accent (something even i have trouble understanding sometimes), lead to me developing a rather out-of-place accent that seems to be based somewhere in North Yorkshire. Very strange.

Kirk, cokeThe Hull accent is so strong but those in the surrounding East Riding really don't have anything distinguishing, it's lame.
