A secret shame I have then: I love Southern American accents. Forrest Gump prejudice, I know, but it's lovely. And so is Jenny.

I have trouble imagining Lal, Davem and Aman as sounding northern but I guess they must, at least a bit..... strange hotchpotch of Sean Bean, Ted Hughes and Betty Boothroyd

Good....
lord. Betty Boothroyd? My dear Mithalwen, how old am I?! And the other two are a little too, well...male, for a start.
No, for my accent...hmm, not sure, really - I don't suppose I sound that Northern, more often I'm accused of being Southern - and a student, actually, which is even more hilarious, bearing in mind I look about twelve - but the former is mainly just because of the area I live in, and the fact I go to a private school - around where I live is sort of...Little Surrey. Hence I only lapse into a Manchester accent when I'm speaking fast or getting angry, and generally when I do, the result is polite nods and blank expressions as my 'posher' friends try to work out what language I'm actually speaking...
