I've got the accent sponge thing a bit too. I've tried very hard to resist picking up too much southern though. I'm not going to start saying grarse or barth or anything, ew.
It's most embarrassing talking to foreigners and adopting their slightly broken English. What a pisstake!
I think this might be the most famous sufferer - former England football manager goes to work in the Netherlands and adopts comedy Dutch accent for interviews.
