I'm American after all
As a Brit, you yanks tend to have :S How to put this without insulting anyone. A drawl. You tend to elongate certain words or sounds. Its gets progressively worse the further south you get. But even in NY you get it to some extent even if it comes out more as gangster (not the horrid new age ima RAPA! Gangster like 1960 bank-robber gangster).
Personally my accent changes in a very weird way. I'm currently living in a combination N.Wales, Hull, Warwick and a place very close to Windsor, and depending on where I am my accent shifts and I drop different letters and ergh. I have the sort of accent where if Im in the north, ppl tell me I have no accent, if Im in the south I have a heavy accent.
I sometimes drop the letters H and T, So Hull becomes Hull and butter becomes either buer or buter. Water sometimes gets its T dropped. Cant is a wierd one. It sort of sounds like I drop the T but its still clear it cant not can. I change what I do so aften I couldnt list em all but the ones I have tend to be the Hull ones as I've lived their longest so its the one I know best. But I have a few welsh ones too.
EDIT: Just read the post above, I say aboot on occasion too
