When I find myself working further afield I notice their accents and I find it mesmerising, for want of a better phrase.  I recall that the first time I found myself in the West Country, I walked around the Sainsbury's just listening to the phonology of people speaking.I did the same in Newcastle, and found that accent pleasing on the ear.  I found myself doing the same in Scotland and in Ireland and actually pretty much everywhere I've been on my travels. Funny thing is I can't mimic any accent but find some pleasing on the ear. As alluded to earlier,  I find the differences in the common language we use here quite interesting. If all that makes sense!</blockquote>
