    I'm from South Coast Britain (yea so that doesn't give away much)... which is probably why I don't have an accent in my English. Anywhere approaching the Midlands is where Northern accent comes in.:D

    I've gone too HongKong and no ones looked my way because of my accent. They do tend to stare at me though, I just guess I don't have the HK hair ;)

    Nope but did have one when I was little. Guess grew out of it after conversing with so American people and hardly with any Oriental people.

    Originating from a Cantonese background, I can't help but to insert 'lah' and 'loh' at the end of my lines when I speak. Other than that I sound rather normal.
