Father and son David & Ben Crystal have come up with a great idea, to see how our accents compare with each other. This website allows us to look at the different ways people say 'potato' from all around the world. We can clearly tell the difference between a lot of places, but I have realised a a lot of places in England sound strangely alike.
David and Ben also made an appearance on the TV show Sunday Brunch. They expressed the fact that accent is levelling across the country. The big cities such as London and Bristol are becoming so culturally and ethnically diverse that the well known accents are spreading to the outer suburbs of the cities.
From David and Ben Crystal, I have learnt that there is no 1 accent. We have related a specific place onto how someone talks but really, no one has one accent.
