I have to agree I love the Italians speaking English! It is very ooo-errr!
Oh, and everyone has an accent, GG, even if it's not a "strong" recognised one!

the cockney accent is from the region where they all sound like yapping dogs- another one that gets on me tits

and geordie

and anyone who claims to speak with a northern accent is wrong (how can it be a northern accent when it is different from most of the north?)- same with anyone claiming to have a yorkshire accent, it's not a yorkshire accent it's far more regionalised (i'm lucky- i got a sheffield accent despite growing up nearer leeds. means i can say vowels without sounding gay)

Whenever i go to Leeds for the rugby i end up liking the leeds accent

they can't even say a's properly- how can anyone like that?

How is it wrong? "Northern" accents (whether it's North East or North West) speak with monopthongs (saying vowels with a flat sound), such as "sound" sounds like "sownd" up North, but a dipthong (dragged-out vowel sound) of "sound" would be "saaaaaaaand", which is a southern thing. Also, it is a fact that Northerners speak quicker than Southerners. So no, I'm not saying that my accent accounts for all Northern accents. I'm saying that my accent incorporates the typical Northern traits of speech.

Makes it easier to cover up your true nature, then?

reminds me of the film "My Cousin Vinny". I love that film.

Had to laugh at Haman talking on TV the other night. Clearly a German accent with a slight scouse twang. classic!
