Everyone I meet from different parts of the country say I have an accent, but I don't notice it.  I don't have a thick accent, but I guess it's a Long Island/NYC 'dialect'.

A mix of Pitmatic (especially that soft "r" sound), South Welsh English (Gwent rather than Glamorgan), North Welsh English (Merioneth. This one doesn't show up all that much... except on a few words), Black Country, Marches (this dialect wasn't listed...), Northants (doesn't show up much. Oh and that's old Northants; before all them outsiders turned up and ruined everything) and Yorkshire (West Riding).
Probably somethings I've missed out too

People can't quite place me Smiley

I thought you spoke some dialect called "Mackem"Huh

I speak a watered down New York accent.  A thick New York accent comes out occasionally usually when I am in an argument or yelling at the short comings of the local sorts teams.

That fairly aptly describes me.

Western New England/Hudson Valley combination

Aren't you originally from NY?
