I moved “darn sarf” and people were unable to understand me (for example, in a pub, if I asked for a Coke, it was with a rounded o, but for the locals it was a cow-k.

Now I’ve only traces of my accent left and I find it a bit of a shame.
At least I have a strong English accent when I speak in French!

Be proud - Long live regional accents!
