but they don't wander around going, "ooooh, it's expensive innit" or thinking they are cool because they "know london really well, right, because their mate lives there and they've been to stay with him before".

Have you tried to improve your own accent since moving there?

i don't really have an accent
i lived in bucks when i was learning to talk, and whilst i don't sound cut-glass like i used to after the move to cheshire (family videos of me are hilarious, i sound like the bloody queen), i'm nearer to sloane than northerner.

No you're not. You sound like a Lancashire miner.

Your Northern is far less pronounced
