It's often not deliberate is it? I know my accent is pretty 'fluid' and morphs according to context/situation/who I'm speaking to. It's not intentional, my accent just isn't very 'fixed'. I suspect it's because I didn't have a stable household/community accent growing up, but I've met other people who say they're the same despite growing up surrounded by a particular accent. It can be a bit embarrassing, I sometimes wonder if people think I'm taking the piss.
