It's true. I can tell the difference between Hebden Bridge and Todmorden (about 7 km down the valley) and Burnley and Padiham (whose centres are only about 4km apart and butt up against each other).Accents vary . You could take two people born and bred from the same area and their accents could be different. Depends sometimes on your exposure to accents at home/ work etc. As a born and bred Brummie my accent is completely different from a mate of mine although we spent all our formative years living within a couple of miles of each other. You can go 5/6 miles from Brum City centre to the boundary with Sandwell and the accent is completely different. Same with Brum and Cov , used to work at a pub roughly half way between the two cities and it was a real melting pot of accents although in those days I was more interested in the young ladies who frequented the pub and not their accents! But that’s another story!
