England Northern accent

England gets fed up of being fawned over for his accent, which is generally the stereotypically southern English accent that all foreigners instinctively think of when they hear the word 'British'. Eventually he's so sick of the anglophilia that the next time he goes into a world meeting, he adopts a northern accent and dialect. A strong northern accent.
Bonus - the northern accent he uses is Scouse/Liverpool Bonus 2 - at first some of the nations think he's speaking a whole different language, the accent is so thick Bonus 3 - America's dreams are completely shattered since he's clearly the biggest anglophile of them all

You know there’s a problem when you can’t get a speech across for the fact that half the nations were gazing at you with the expression of puppy dogs, as though realising for the first time that ALL you were made up of were lots and lots of bones.. Bloody hell... “Dealing with our current economic crisis, I propose we should-“ “Oh, just listen to the way he clips his ‘c’s!” Some random nation squealed in a whisper, though it sounded like it belonged to the more feminine of nations. England was poised to stare a bit wearily across the conference table before him, not more than a little freaked out at hearing such a snippet of conversation.
However, he was English and he was going to do this properly. He tried to blatantly ignore any more such ‘noises’.

The first time he had noticed such behaviour was when Denmark had been grinning in the group of Nordics all situated to his side as he pointed out something to do with the recent G20 meeting coming up. Sweden looked nonchalant, but…
“…And so I feel we should meet there slightly earlier. Any questions?” England had looked around; his fingers hooked delicately around a cup of tea he had been sipping.
There was none, but Denmark had nudged Sweden playfully. His eyes swivelled over and Arthur and Berwald’s eyes met. A sort of hushed moment fell between them.
He gripped a little more tightly at his chair, and the slightest, slightest dimple of a blush on his cheeks appeared. He nodded.
“N’ce a’cn’t.”
Arthur pursed his lips in slight confusion, but nodded.
“Not a question.. but.. t-thank you?” He had become aware that a conciliated agreement had been compromised somewhere in the atmosphere, a few nations smiling and even nodding with each other.
England glanced back down to the milky liquid below him.
PFFT, this already has me giggling and the northern accent hasn't even made its appearance yet! Just the way the other nations are acting is hilarious (oh, Japan, why such an epic fanboy? XDD). No wonder England is sick of it if no one pays attention to a word he says XD
Keep it up, anon! This is absolutely brilliant so far!

“Cheers mate.” A gruff voice rang out to the cab driver, a couple of dollars being slapped in the cabbie’s hand. As he slammed the door behind him, Arthur looked up towards the windows of where the official building was, particularly towards the room where the meeting was being held. For once in his life he was probably a bit late, but that would probably make it all the more effective.
Having considered the fact that apparently the most ‘inspiring’ accent that Arthur owned was a Yorkshire accent, and knowing how unintelligible that accent could be sometimes, he’d come to a quick conclusion. Operation… Accent Change, he was going to call it.
He was going to show the rest of the nations that his voice wasn’t as attractive as he’d probably led them on with. He didn’t want to be thought of as some sexy-accent speaking person anyway - what was the use of that? England had to admit though, he could probably imagine America’s reaction already

The rest of the room seemed indubitably stumped. Who was this new heavy accented person? Surely he couldn’t be speaking English. Surely…
What did Australia mean? Surely he couldn’t understand what the man was saying? None of it was comprehensible. No one else could understand him. They couldn’t let him speak

-wee finished.
-this accent which should be a sheffield accent is in fact my native accent. I actually had to look up a few things on it though because i'm a dunce and this is what i get for going cosmopolitan with americans for four years cry.
-I wasn't lying about the 'inspiration' part. wiki quote - "An April 2008 survey found that Yorkshire accents are now ranked above Received Pronunciation for inspiring confidence in the speaker.[3]" RP is queen's english.
-With Aussie talking about 'how he sounds like cook' is in reference to captain cook, who was from whitby, north yorkshire. He should've had a similar accent.
-If anyone needs translations for horrible yorkshire phoneticness feel free to ask.
-for it's shortness blah blah i hope the OP enjoys this! >n<

Poor England, no matter what he tries, no one takes him seriously. *sighs*
By the by, Cook may have sailed from Whitby, but he was born in Marton, which is a bit further north and in a different 'accent zone' (the North-East has a lot of variation when it comes to accents). That said, I haven't a clue what his accent would've been like, since that area's accent has changed a lot since then. It probably wouldn't have been much like a Sheffield one though.

"Oh ffft I totally did take that into account. >_> manyy reconstructions i've watched have given him a North Yorkshire accent, so who knows.
Oh and of course I completely realise this. hence why I said 'a bit' in the fill itself. xD"
Fair enough. *shrugs* On a most likely totally irrelevent note, in my head there's a Yorkshire living in England's house and Australia takes after him.
ReCaptcha says: in scurvy. Yes captcha, that'd be a risk when sailing to Australia, although it wasn't that much of a problem for Cook and his men.
