Matlock/Buxton/Eyam? I know that area, but I'm from Durham so technically Geordie. Sadly the accent was thrashed out of me by an elocutionist in league with my parents. The TV effect on accents is not to be underestimated - a while ago I detected a definite Aussie inflection in my daughter and her friends, the result of watching too many Aussie soaps as children.Quite so BB...North East Derbyshire/South Yorkshire isn't on and is quite different from even it's near neighbours, when I go down to the bottom of the shire the people down there have difficulty with my accent, especially the young people as they all now appear to speak a 'Hollyoaks' type dialect.
