True accents getting revealed when drunk

When I was in Vegas with some mates this woman turned round and said 'are you from Australia or New Zeeland?' and I was just like 'ehhhh.....England'. I've never lived anywhere but the south of the UK so have a fairly posh sound accent!

I got the same thing when i was out in San Francisco...

Was at the WWDC'10 conference and some yank piped up, "These Australians are everywhere, where you from sonny, Australia?"

I usually confuse them even more and say "I'm Cornish, thanks..."

My Cornish accent comes out when I'm angry or hang around people who are Cornish.

Quoted for truth.

My accent becomes more Welsh when I'm speaking to someone who isn't Welsh (or from the North, damn Gogs), then when I'm drunk God help you understanding me. I try to talk slower and pronounce the words to make up for it but it just makes me sound like the window licker on the B & Q advert.
 
I got told I was the "quintessential public schoolboy" a few weeks back. Frankly, I'd argue that the girl using the word "quintessential" was the quintessential public schoolgirl.

OMG! I hate the Lestaaaaaa accent, even though I live here. :D I have tried not the pick it up, but it comes out a little when drinking :(

"Can I have a cob", "it's a roll! :mad:" :p (I don't work in a sandwich shop :p )

Do you live up The Saff, judging by your name? :)

Yes i do come from that area, unfortunately it is a cob. No i dont live on the Saffron, moved from there a while back. Accents are good, especially regional accents, do you really want to sound like the London diaspora.

Apparently I sound quite posh, I am originally from Uppingham, Rutland.

There are worse accents to the Leicester one, but I think it's the chav's which make it grate on me!
 
Seen this happen loads of times and it always cracks me up without fail.

One particular lady I knew had a vicar for a father and a Girls' School teacher for a mother - to hear her speak sober was like listening to angels playing baby violins. Give her a few drinks and she turned into Edina Monsoon on a bad day :D

She took herself really seriously in sober life too, straight back and all heirs and graces, to see her drunk was a complete eye-opener thats for sure, and the stupid/sad thing is, she reverts back to her posh voice the very next day too.

Gotta love people sometimes :D
 
we think we're special, but in slovenia they are smaller than wales, have a population of 2 million yet have 200 different dialects and each village has a different official dress!

Unless I'm drunk or shouting pretty loud, you can't tell where I'm from at all. If I've had a few drinks (which very rarely happens), then my valley's accent comes shining through. At which point all the ladies get excited and try to get me into bed...:D

Aye, any South Wales valley accent gets them all giggly (Unless you're from the Rhondda ofcourse...)
