My English Accent

Caspian sounds Devon to me - not the West Country old style rustic Devon - more the standard basic RP Southern English English of the present generation as distinct from South Eastern basic RP of the same generation. Minus of course any strong hints of Estuary. I could tell he is not from the South East/Home Counties region. My first instinct was to say Somerset, Gloucestershire or Wiltshire, but now I know it's Devon, it fits.

I once heard a group of lads sitting on the sunny, grassy surrounds of Exeter Cathedral speaking in exactly the same manner.

well, thanks, Caspian and Damian.
Gloucestershire I honestly think it woudn´t fit, from the people I know personally. Maybe it´s the "generation" distinction you mentioned. Guess I never heard that or, never paid attention. Still, some traits confused me.
cheers

>> I like the accent Francis - sounds a bit Irish, are you from Ireland? <<

Thanks. Actually I'm from the USA. Here's how my accent usually sounds:

I guess an American accent + Your accent = an Irish-sounding accent. :)

Since Caspian can't spell analyse, I assume he's a fake.

Excuse me? Of course I can spell analyze. Just because I spell it the British way as opposed to the American way, it doesn't mean I can't spell. Perhaps you should venture out of America some time.
