I know a few proper Devon typesbut loads of people have moved into the area, either grandparents, parents or (like me) themselves, so most of my mates have fairly neutral accents.
I only found out the other day though that saying "sweet" to mean good is a Devon thing. Correct me if that isn't the case.

We used to have a softer versionof the west country in surrey/hampshire and places. Seems to have died out completely now.
I thought "sweet" was an Americanism, to be honest.

I knew a girl from Aberdeen onceshe didn't sound that bad, to be honest. My dad's parents were Glaswegians though, so I think I'm more used to it than most round this way.

I lived in Derby for a few yearsAnd due to my undiluted Glasgow accent, the amount of folk who thought I was a head stomping psychopath was shocking. I eventually had to tone it down, mainly due to never being understood first time, stopped saying 'aye' and 'naw' and having at least one 'fuck' in every sentence. It did, in a weird way command respect and folk would be very friendly, if not overly friendly in attempt to stave of the brutal beatings they thought I was about infilct.
It wasn't until I moved there I realised just how much I swore and how scummy it sounded. Well mainly when I came back up here for a visit and heard the aggressive, machine gun like vocal attacks all around me that it really hit home.

It's not the accent as suchit's the association with vicious stakey attacks.

The thing about Derby, was they had no discernable accent, just a wishy washy amalgam of mediocrity.

Yeesbut my knowledge of English is better now. I didn't know much those days, and it was all London proper English.
I can do with Scotish just about right.

Not new company, but rejoining old company.An old friend from high school's 18th birthday last year. Only four or five people would actually speak to me because according to them, I had "betrayed" them and my shite high school by leaving to go to a good college. So I got wankered and spent all night on the dance floor.
I love meeting new people and rarely feel awkward or out of place.

my mother doesn't really swearapart from the occasional fuck-a-duck. Yet for some unknown unreason she only refers to Winnie the Pooh, as Winnie the Shit
