I speak Dutch with a faint regional accent that most fellow Dutchmen would be able to place in the general cardinal direction.

I can lay on the local accent more thickly, but I dislike it, it's not pleasing to the ear.

The amusing thing is that it's a very particular accent that doesn't really feature in the 'fun accents that are commonly used in parody' I doubt many people that weren't born here or have lived here could identify the city by ear.
