Do you loose your accent the more you move around the country and instead of adopting other accents you just seem accentless or does it depend were your from?
People have said that to me before.

I think it started when I moved to Liverpool to do my degree, then working in London for years, followed by a couple of years in Scotland.

In London a lot of the people I worked for came from all over the world so you ended up having to speak clearly, that's probably why my accent is accentless perhaps.

Even though I may not sound it, in my heart I will always be 'E by gum'.
