Eeek - southerner alert lol just kidding smile
I left here when I was 19 - lived in Leicester for 9 years - then came back with my husband who I met there and is from Hampshire-way (has a bit of a BBC accent as his ma was from fancy well-to-do family in Surrey). I think when I left though I lost most of my accent because ppl in Leicester couldn't understand me. I think I left it there never to return. Which is good and bad, because it means that most ppl have no idea where I am from as accent is a bit of a mishmash. But it can be an affront to ppl here - if you don't talk like em they think you're posh or summit. I just try to pronounce words properly and use correct grammar - because I want my kids to speak well enough. Trouble is they have picked up the southern pronunciation of words like BATH - BARTH GRASS - GRARSE etc.

I think its a bit narrow-minded and insular (insular penninsula?) to judge a person by their accent.

I think the Birkenhead accent is the best, it is a very soft one not harsh like the scouse one. I watched one of the videos from the ghost hunt and was entranced by the accents especially the girls as there soft voices make it even softer. Very similar to some Irish accents. But then I have been away for a long time.
