Accent analysis

[DisillusionedOldGit]

I've tried it with a cockney accent, gave me a pic of danny dyer and east london, tried a Manc accent got a picture of liam Gallagher and manchester, scouse accent got liverpool and cilla black, tried my own accent and keep getting Sunderland ffs.
Gotta be that fleece question that's doing it, as Sunderland says "fleeyce" similar to the southern pronunciation, so its getting the happy as the same as "fleeyce" pronunciation.

Load of rubbish.

It's obviously shite. How can someone from Newcastle be confused with Sunderland ?

What a bollocks quiz

9 generic questions then one very very specific one!

 

[Some Random Guy]

Sunderland here.

 

[Twisted]

Anyone not from the north east tried it yet?

I've spent most of me life down south, grew up in durham and have been in sunderland a year and ahalf. I don't sound like I'm from sunderland at all and I've got sunderland twice.

I think it the test is either shite or sunderland is the stock answer for anyone with a north east accent.

I answered splinter and still got sunlun

Sunderland for me.

I’m going to ask the wife and kids to do it - see what comes out of that. My wife isn’t even a native English speaker and the kids were mainly brought up in china so be interesting to see what the answer is for them

They’ll do it just to keep me happy, saves them having to interact with me too much and they are too polite to tell me to stuff it (Christ I am dull)

It said I was from Sunderland but I've never lived there and decided to consciously try and lose my Newcastle accent almost 50 years ago!

Do you not think you may be taking it a little seriously?

My accent has certainly faded whilst living aboard but it does come back at times, particularly when drunk or on a rant

 

[Cockney Mackem]

Shocked that it picked me out as Sunderland given how I sound - until I remembered I answered spelk instead of splinter, might as well have ended the quiz there

It’s about secret accents e.g. an accent that you may be trying to hide or mask.

 

[redgauntlet]

Sunderland, no mackem in me, my more refined South Shields accent is nothing like the mackem.

 

[kossoff]

West London for me. Nope.

 

[screwjack]

sunderland for me.
what kind of witchcraft is this?

 

[Skandhaless]

Anyone not from the north east tried it yet?

Aye me . Originally from York now living in Durham , had me down as Middlesbrough which actually is about how I sound now and where my mother hails from

 

[Typhoonftm]

West London

 

[muggboots]

Sunderland for me, obviously. It says I mostly sound like Barry Hyde amongst others. I've sent it to Barry to check what he gets.
