I have a buddy in London who swears he can almost tell what neighborhood someone grew up in based solely on their accent. I don't think it's quite that bad but last time I was there he did point out several that were solely in London.
Yep I can tell apart different accents from around Glasgow. Most cities will look like this so easier than it sounds.
That map is Manchester. The clue is "scally" in the west and posh as you get towards Cheshire.
Yes I know it was an example hence ‘most’
Same for me, grew up in the countryside, there were at least 3-4 villages that had a distinctive enough accent that I could pick up on it.
