I don't have an accent
though any b3tans are free to correct me. It's a bit RP I guess. I don't think I sound very posh, but other people reckon I do.

I really like proper RP on men as long as it isn't nasal. I don't like Irish accents, and not hugely fond of the Geordie accent

Alt Q; no speech impediment

Maybe I don't hear it
shop assistants react oddly to it in Ireland though

do I sound Devon at all?
I tend to (subconciously) change how I speak depending on who I am addressing so might have become more neutral and posh sounding when talking to you...

You sound well-spoken
and quite neutral. On some words you had a bit of a burr, but it was nice so that's fine :)

Apparently I have a different phone voice
Where I enunciate everything extremely clearly.

My mother shushes me a lot in Ireland
apparantly when talking to shop assistants my voice becomes louder and clearer. I'm not snobbish in the least, don't even notice it. I think it's because I dread them not understanding me

I hate the scouse accent (sorry Roota)
it just grates on me. There's a guy at work who is a bit scouse and he says cheque a lot, with the hacky C sound, I hate it. When we tease him about it he says he's from Cheshire. Cheshire is pronounced Chesheer because he's a FUCKING SCOUSE TWAT.

I have to take a while to get used to it
we had a scouser down from another office for a while and it really grated at first, but once I'm used to it it's fine.

Sounds more scally than scouse
They do a lot of the hacky C sound, so 'fuck' becomes 'foch'.

what is kerry?
I've heard people call people a kerry, is it the same thing?

Kerry is a county in Ireland
it's where my parents live as it happens

It's a County in the south-west
Quite touristy. I have no idea what 'a kerry' is.

A kerry is a thick person.
Apparently Non-Kerry Irish people view Kerrys the same way we stereotype the Irish. Or so I've been told.
