Works the same with kids... I used to teach at a rather posh private school and they only listened to a telling off if it was delivered in quite an upper class accent. By the time they'd got really really out of line I was starting to sound like the Queen!

I'm from yorkshire - I get called a "dee dar" by the airsofting folk up here in notts and I get called "One of those" by my friends back in sheffield

my accent withers a bit but when I'm drunk or really excited - the yorkshire accent comes out proper bad

I taught a dog sit and stay in german once - can't remember it now but she was GSD x so it fitted well

Being Scottish is a real pain when you are dealing with voice recognition...... voice recognition does not do Scottish accents or a scottish accent doing English or American impression

Oh god - my husband's got a very strong Geordie accent still, and we had that Brain Training game for the DS where you have to say the colour word rather than the colour font it's displayed in... he was getting sooooooo cross with it not recognising his accent!
