Have you ever been held back by your accent?

PHONE-IN
Today we’re talking about accents. Almost half of UK workers have had their accents mocked, criticised or singled out in a social setting, according to new research.
The Sutton Trust found 46% of workers have faced jibes about the way they talk, with 25% reporting jokes at work. The researchers said an entrenched "hierarchy of accent" caused social anxiety throughout some people's lives. So we're asking: have you ever felt that you had to change your accent? Through school, in the workplace, maybe even while dating?
