    I have a buddy in London who swears he can almost tell what neighborhood someone grew up in based solely on their accent. I don’t think it’s quite that bad but last time I was there he did point out several that were solely in London.

      Same for me, grew up in the countryside, there were at least 3-4 villages that had a distinctive enough accent that I could pick up on it.

      Yep I can tell apart different accents from around Glasgow. Most cities will look like this so easier than it sounds.
