I've lived in the West Midlands for over 20 years (I come from Yorkshire, came to Uni here and never went back). My accent has changed over the years, from Yorkshire to 'no man's land' and now I sound more like a local. I'll be honest - the West Midlands accent isn't one of my favourite accents but there's nothing wrong with it. I work with people based all over the country and some people don't know / can't tell that I'm from Yorkshire which makes me sad as I'm very proud of my roots. I just don't sound like me anymore and, short of moving back to Yorkshire, I've no idea how to reclaim my accent. AIBU or should I just accept and move on? I realise this is NOT a huge issue but it's niggling me more and more.
