Thats so weird I'm exactly the same!26 now,born and raised in London,moved to Limerick when I was 15 and still have a very strong accent.

I have the exact opposite, born in London (one of the Irish bits) Had an Irish accent until I was about nine, then lost when we moved to English England

, still have an English accent - likely to keep it forever now.

Makes my Irish sound interesting...

Yes, I`m a Scouser, both parents are English too (only one Irish granny who moved to Lancs back in `40s!). Lived here for eleven years now (came over for uni).

Born in London. In the same hospital as Daniel Radcliffe, Mischa Barton and Helen Mirren! ZOMG!

I moved to France when I was 4 and then to Ireland when I was 7. I had a London accent till I was about 11 but got teased about it at school so decided it for time for a bit of an Irish accent.

Canadian here. Moved here when I was 6 and have a pure Kerry accent now. Aho!

Interesting to see how many foreigners are on here.

I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right. I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas! Gas! Gas!

I was born under a bad sign in the UK of Irish parents, mainly thanks to Ireland only ever having enough jobs for the boys.

Manchester, England to Irish parents,

Moved back here when I was 11.

Yer Wha? You got an Irish accent living in London?
Its funny when you go back over to London now and all the London Irish are putting on these faux Irish accents that aint fooling anyone.

Anyone else here grow up in Cricklewood since we seem to have a lot of London babies

It seems that a lot of Irish emigrants never went anywhere outside London years ago, because on hearing an English accent here, people are always asking "What part of London are you from?" My reply used to be "Oxford".

The details of my life are quite inconsequential.... Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a 15-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize; he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament... My childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon... luge lessons... In the spring, we'd make meat helmets... When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds — pretty standard, really. At the age of 12, I received my first scribe. At the age of 14, a Zoroastrian named Vilmer ritualistically shaved my testicles — there really is nothing like a shorn scrotum — it's breathtaking... I suggest you try it.
