Accents and Dialects in the North East of England

Thanks for agreeing to complete this survey, which will take about 15 minutes. The survey is in three parts. The first part asks you a few questions about yourself, where you live, and how you feel about where you live. The second part asks you to think about the accents and dialects of people who live in the North East. The third part asks a few questions about your character and personality. You will also be invited to leave your name and contact details, which will be entered into a PRIZE DRAW for store tokens.
