Blackbriar 8,568 Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 I'm not from 'Up North' as a lot of people say to me - I'm from the Midlands...(Nottingham specifically). I can distinguish a Nottingham accent from a Derby or a Leicester, but to the good lady BB (Bedfordshire), they all sound the same...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even the ones who speak very good English. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
