Londoners always accuse us Brummies of being northerners and Geordies/Mancs e.t.c. always accuse us of being southerners 🙁 Us Midlanders have our own identity too you know :'(

I like how at 4:53 the lady actually says “that’s not a lot of pot” which you can tell cause she immediately started laughing afterwards like “Why did you ask me to say this though?”

He should do a video on California accent. I ask a lot of Californians if they have accent and they look confused that I ask so does that accent even exist?

I’d like to see you do “military accents” like my own. Raised by parents with wildly different accents, but being in the military living all over the world speaking several languages. I now have either a non-accent or a mix of a bunch, I’m not sure how you’d explain it. If I had to guess based on your past videos I’d say I’m closest to mid-west US accent.

Oh dear, the arrow pointing to South England was pointing to Wales! Should have put the boundary line between Wales and England before making the demarcation line between North and South England, Wales was included – very different accents in that part of Britain.
Should have put the boundary line between Scotland and North England.
Very misleading representation of the UK – yet again. 😣

If you’re not sure if they’re Kiwi (New Zealand) or Aussie (Australian) then guess Kiwi. The Aussie will be flattered but the Kiwi offended if you guess Aussie.

The U.S. east coast accent would have been far more interesting addressing the Mary/marry/merry thing – the rest of the U.S. pronounces them all the same, but people in the north east make a stink about the differences.

Could you do the Cornish and other places like Scotland and Wales. My English friends can’t tell the difference, but I feel like my Cornish accent is very clear
