Do you have a strong regional accent?

Can you usually detect regional accents on Americans? I can't distinguish between different types of British accents. Sometimes it takes me a little while to tell whether it's Australian, South African or British.

I can only really detect general areas of some accents. Mainly due to tv and fillums.

I can usually tell the difference between a Canadian and American accent.

There are just as many regional accents and lingo here as there are there. I'd say more folks sound Downtown Alley than Downton Abbey, but then I would say that, I'm a "...up t'back ginnel" northerner!
