I don't have an accent. I talk with a standard pronounciation.

Pronunciation please Bounty.

I know a very intelligent woman from Penzance who sounds exactly like Alice from the Vicar of Dibley.

Conversely I know somebody with perfect 'received pronunciation' who is extremely lacking in the commonsense department. That's the trouble with accents - they can lead people to make assumptions!

In fact have never met anyone from Cornwall or Devon with a stereotypical 'westcountry' accent.

Well I have. There are a lot of people I see when I go to Kingsbridge that I have a real problem understanding until I get 'tuned in'.
