'Up North'...Yorkshire/Lancashire/The Dales way?
Obviously not as 'Up North' as I am...but roundabout where my Dad is from.

It sounds very much like a Rochdale accent - seeming as I've known quite a few Julie-a-likes, including my mum's sister ;D - but I could be wrong.

Up North, most certainly. but maybe she's a mixed breed, as it were.

You know, I always find this really weird to think about; there are so many VERY different British accents...and people can spot them as being different in different places; but if we ever visited like, Germany, Japan etc; we wouldn't know any difference at all.

The germans know the difference though. I can sometimes pick different british accents, but i don't have very much experience with it. At least I can tell the difference between Irish, Scottish and Welsh most of the time...  But people don't believe me when i say that in Australia there are different regional accents too. |

and here, but only very very very slightly. I doubt if anyone outside of Australasia could tell the difference betweeen Aussie and NZ. Put Rove McManus and John Campbell in a room together and the difference is noticible only to us  Monty Python's flying circus is a good way to learn abotu british accents |

Any whacky british comedy is good to learn about british accents!
Well, I can tell a Queensland accent from a South Australian, and Melbourne and Sydney are similar, but different. And country areas have more 'twang' than the cities, with country northern and eastern areas having even more twang. Also there are different ways of saying things for different states...

I have some family over there. My mother is a convict you see, so that makes me half convict.
