accents on d'telly

tupenny

Just wondering does this happen everyone? Watched two episodes of peaky blinders there and I find myself thinking and speaking in a Birmingham accent .. similar happened me when I was last in London for a Weekend I was speaking in a Cockney accent , hadn't realized til my then BF pointed it out.
so is that normal?
Am I weird? (No need to answer that)
Does it happen everyone?

I watch RTE for a while and end up speaking away in some convoluted west brit accent. I has to go to confession and speach therapy to cure me of it some times.

OP, yes you are weird OR you are a sad lonely sociopath who never felt the embrace of a loving parent. My 2c.

Peaky Blinders was the best thing the BBC made in years.

If ye haven't seen it lads you should.

Its like Breaking Bad in the"20's.

If your accent changes while you're abroad, you're a weak person IMO.
If it changes while you're watching telly...

Watch an episode of Glenroe and you'll be sorted

I'm actually from Birmingham, I didn't have a strong accent though. I spent 2 months every summer in Ireland and would pick up an accent which lasted about a week when I went back. I then moved here at 18 and now have an Irish accent with an English twang. Some words occasionally come out in complete flat English and people stare at me like I'm warping into another person or have a split personality

I've lived in a few counties here and I seem to pick up dialect and slang quickly - mayo snd kerry being the quickest e.g. I say 'Ah lads' a lot

You met Londoners with an actual Cockney accent? I've met far more people with strong Irish accents than Cockneys there.
