Still here.
Received Pronunciation (the first accent she does) is probably closest to how I speak, although I'm a little less clipped and newsreader-y. My Mum's from Norfolk, where I was born, but doesn't have the accent, and my Dad's from Birmingham originally but after 30 years away from there only sounds vaguely Brummie now. I think if my parents had stronger accents I'd probably sound less neutral but I've picked up my non-accent from them I think.
Yeah, that Yorkshire accent was pretty all over the place, partly because there are so many variations on it depending on where you are. I've lived with 3 people from various parts of Yorkshire while I've been at uni and their accents are completely different.
Leaving aside that Scottish and Welsh and Ireland aren't English, her Yorkshire was terrible. Even within Yorkshire it's possible to tell where someone is from. Her Yorkshire does that thing that most people attempting it do - pronounce the unspoken 't' on 'the'. No one does that here, it's unspoken yet understood. Couldn't place her within Yorkshire - Bradford is different to Sheffield which is different to Hull which is different to Hawes.
P.
