English

I' losing the ability to speak fluently.

Like my father before me I tend to adopt the accent of the person I'm talking to, and when I don't know the accent, I just slow down my speaking and use simpler sentence construction.

Alas, the folk I work with mostly have English as a second language, and at gigs, if I talk to peple, its a noisy environment so I tailor my sentences to get valid information across.

I think I might come from Bulgaria rather than Manchester or Glasgow. Although I do manage to slip in a few 'wee's instead of smal and 'ach'.
