I was brought up in Norfolk but never had a very strong accent as my Mum was Irish. However, when I went to work in the Midlands, people were forever asking me what part of Australia I came from.

You very seldom hear a child with what I call a "proper Norfolk" accent now - they all talk TV speak or whatever they call it. Where every sentence sounds like a question and they use the word "like" after every couple of words.
