I was born in London when i was younger, but moved north when i was about 4 / 5, so I still have an English accent. Also, my parents have the same English Accent, so it was forced onto me even more.
"But what could be so bad swampie?" You ask, Here is a scenario:
I walk into a shop and ask for something, the person I am talking to doesn't understand me one bit, so I repeat again, but still, she/he can't understand me until I repeat it multiple times, and this is embarrassing to me and my socially awkward stance
Can I / Should I get rid of my English accent facepunch?
no
it is awesome
Never forget where you came from
no you stupid faggot
No, Don't bow down to the god damn northerners and their pies!
yes
i heard cyanide capsules work great.
Maybe you should just stop mumbling
Cut out your vocal chords. That accent is as good as gone!
It's probably not your accent, but rather the way you speak. Maybe you talk in a more mumbleing way
You don't want a northerner accent man.
You'll be mocked by everyone who isn't northerner. Including me.

I'm from the north west and I'd kill to have a southern accent :(
They're just so awesome...
Don't.
You should pick up a southern accent. Not the dumb redneck kind, but the badass Clint Eastwood, John Marston kind.
I live in America and my dad has the this problem in the drive through(He is from UK). When he says words like salt and tomato they are like what?

So if you want to be understood go for it.
English accent > Northern accent
Don't throw away something that sets you apart from everyone else.
What's an example of a northern accent? What's the difference between that and a London accent?

Move to America.
Get laid.
No.
But, if you want, learn to throw your accent. It's a neat trick to teach yourself to imitate accents.
If you throw away the english accent I'm gonna send Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May to murder you
And this is coming from a Portuguese person
Some hicks find English accents hot in the states. When I got a fake one, I got laid.
I don't want a northern accent, i just want to be understood
:smith:
Oh fuck I meant chicks not hicks :doh:
If you can't have an understandable conversation, you need to change something.
Give it to me I need it for my Biology degree.
