It's another "guess the accent" game. I enjoy these so I hope it's not getting boring now.
Anyway, 10 points for guessing where I'm from originally (should be the strongest element in my accent) and 10 for guessing where the other influences have come from.
Also, one million points for telling me which script I'm reading from (I changed the names to "Tim" and "James" to make it more difficult) :).

Haha you underestimate the power of google. . .but I won't post the title of the source material so those who want to play fair can answer.

As to the accent, alas, I'm stumped. Most British accents that don't stray _too_ far from RP sound the same for me.

That's cheating T! =p
Here's a better recording for the rest of you...

Yeah, I'm ashamed that my original accent isn't very strong anymore but that's what you get for moving around a lot!

Not a clue, but your accent reminds me of my friends from Clitheroe/Manchester.

Thats probably not even close, but anyways.... :) You got me totally perplexed.

Some interesting answers, some very close some very very far away.

What about it? The accent or the colloquialisms?

Well I'm from Devon, and as far as I can hear, you could quite easily be from here too - but I take it you're not.

You're both close but not spot on for the base accent and one of the aquired accent's.
