What would you think of my very mixed accent?

Hi I have quite an odd accent. I was born in England where i was raised to speak with a "queens english" accent and pronounce all my "T"'s properly and a lot of the time my "O" are very pOsh. I then moved to Australia at about the age of ten. At 16 i returned to the UK with an Aussie twang with my Posh English accent mostly on words like "Worth" and "Murder" and "First". I have also picked up quite a south western accent especially on my "i"'s in words like "Lyke" and "countrysyde", i also say Ciderrrrr! This may be because my grandparents are from the southwest and i talk to them a lot. I also listen to Irish and Scottish music so throughout much of the day I am hearing these accents. I would say i've picked up more of a scottish accent than Irish in comparison of the two. I tend to notice it on words like "go" and "find" and esepcially words ociated with my music likes "Bagpipes" and "drones". The Irish comes in words like "Right" and "light" and "Woood". I also find these accents switch from what sort of person i'm talking to and the time of day! When i first meet people it goes very posh, when i'm talking to some people i'm fairly friendly with it goes Aussie, when i'm very friendly with people it goes south westy. When i'm excited it goes scottish! when i'm tired in the morning it goes Aussie, when i'm tired in the evening it goes south westy. At about Lunchtime it all goes a bit haywire :/ When i'm shopping strangely it go REALLY SOUTH WESTERN! i mean Rrrrrr's and "Arf for Off" and everything! I also pronounce my "U"'s quite softly so "much" or more "Mooch" than "Match" When i'm drunk it goes Irish obviously! So my question is what do you think of this weird blended accent. confusing? annoying? Cool!? unattractive? or not bothered? I must say i'm not overly bothered or embarrased about it because i love all the accents but i'd still like to know what people think :) Thank you and please BE HONEST! P.S- Heres a little accented sentence i might say. "Ello Iy'm frOm alott arf places. Furstly iym from Osttralia boot was bore,n in England"
