I have an English accent - quite a posh one actually. I don't come from a posh area, and the local accent is very, very horrible, so I try not to speak like that. Most of my mother's family are Cockneys. It's a great accent
 Do you think people have accents when they write? I wonder sometimes if you can tell where someone's from if they don't put anything in the little space which says "Location"...
