[QUOTE="Paul Farquhar, post: 8762511, member: 6906155"] Given Tolkien's Backstory, a rural West Midlands accent would probably have been closer to what he envisioned. But West Country is a standard "drama school" accent, as is oirish. My dad is from Anfield. I've moved around a lot though, so my accent is all messed up. I'm pretty sure there are different accents for different New York boroughs. People just aren't sufficiently familiar with them (even in the US) to recognise them. If you aren't familiar with an accent, you tend to hear something you are familiar with, rather than label it "unidentified accent". But people in the US tend to be very bad at telling British accents from Australian, and they are a lot more than a 100 miles apart. Ther is a large Irish population in Liverpool. By boat Ireland isn't much further than Manchester. The accent actually extends south and west through Cheshire to the Welsh boarder. The Manchester accent, on the other hand, extends north and east through the mill towns of the Lancashire hills. There exists a mid-point accent in Warrington. As for Irish, a Belfast accent is very very different to a Dublin accent, and neither is much like drama school oirish. [/QUOTE]
