Do you have a regional accent that doesn't belong to the area you live in?

Yes, I have what's known as a carrot crunchers accent but live amongst The Scots.

Apparently my accent puzzles listeners occasionally.

I am an English Channel coast native and resident, and Northern English would correctly say from my voice I am Southern. Yet I have traces of Midlands as my parents were from a Midlands city 200 miles to the North - but traces possibly only noticed by other Southerners.

I recollect a family friend once asking my Dad about my accent.

Dad replied, "We're not sure either! It's a mixture of Hampshire and Nottingham!"

I remember too when my sister was about five and she and her friend were playing in a sand-pit in the garden. Our Mam and I were very amused to overhear them earnestly discussing whether they were making sand-castles (sister) or sand-carstles (the friend). Yet both girls were Southern-born!

nah... but it's not as thick as some in the area

I live in Minnesota but still have some of my original New York accent.

No, my regional accent is from the area I live in....I’m a New Yorker.

No, mine fits the region in which I live. But it’s different from my parents’, who were born and raised elsewhere.

Yes I live in the heart of Ohio and my accent sounds like a Hoosier pig farmer.

It's a little different, because of bilingualism.
Plus most of my mum's family spoke English with an Irish influence.

No. Even when Im being formal at work the accent comes through
