I do live in a nice area as I've said before, and obviously secondary school can change your dialect through seeing the way over people talk...so sometimes I do throw on a bit of a North Eastern hint to my voice, although it is mainly pretty well-spoken. Perhaps Tom can vouch for my voice sounded, when we met up - can you tell me how I sounded?
So yeah, I would say I have a well-spoken manner of speaking most of the time - just when I say 'aye' rather than yes or yeah people tend to think I slip up.
