anyone who says ‘Brummie’ is wrong.

North West Wales accent is the worst on the planet, it’s pretty much just gargling phlegm.

So soon, I’m sure we had this a couple of weeks ago?

Scouse seems to make my scabs bleed for some reason.
Mockney is pretty bloody annoying though.

I’m more worried by what people say rather than the accent they use saying it.

Faux Scouse

“Yours”

anyone who goes up the end? like that?

is the right answer

Scouse followed by Cockney. Both make me think I am going to be robbed. Geordie is third because I’m fed up with the faux matey homeliness that Geordies always seem so keen to promote. The rest are all pretty good I think. I especially like a west country accent as I’m from that neck of the woods.

Bizarrely, living in London I hardly hear a cockney accent cos they’ve all moved out to the ‘burbs. In fact, you hear more in Spain that you do in inner London. I do accept that what a person says is of prime importance, not their accent.

Wirral faux scouse accent is bad

haughty

West Country accent for no other reason that he ( hh45 ) dissed Geordies as being fake friendly ..numpty! 😆
( see ..we are not that friendly )

I actually said that on the other thread too..

I do find the London accent grates a bit.

To make up for it, the Glaswegian accent makes me feel all funny inside.

I dislike the ‘no accent’ posh thing.
We have such a diverse set of accents in the UK that it should be celebrated, not avoided.

From Hagley isnt he?
Seems about right

Geordie.

Would those Irish people up there ^^^^^ find the queen difficult to understand?

sorry, i just can’t understand you.

English, all of them, equally.

cockney. makes me very angry and annoyed, no idea why.

RP is just one of the many diverse accents we have in the UK. Celebrate it! 🙂

Mackem .. 😆
Unfortunately I wish I could say the same ..but I have a daughter now 26 who was born & still lives in Sunland…so I had to learn the lingo.
Thankfully I wasn’t tainted with your twang while living there ..

Not regional but proper RP. Even my mum (and the queen) don’t do it anymore.

Mockney makes me see red.

Scouse can be great, except when it’s coming from shrieking drunk birds. Then I want to pull my middle ears out through my eyeballs.

Dick mucking Van Dike and Jamie Oiliver and there bastard mockney accents, hard to hear a real Cockney in London it’s been taken over by the generic Thames Estuary accent, init d’owe spar…

Interested to know what a real cockney accent is?

Ouch, as someone who was born within the sound of the Bow Bells it seems a lot of you would hate me..

For me, it’s the “fake posh” accent that’s creeping in especially with young women. First noticed it at my old workplace, they became more and more like it over time, and in the 9 years I’ve been in Bristol, it’s become incredibly obvious. Strangely, when I go to our London office, there’s a mishmash of accents from round the country, in the same roles, with none of the “fake” thing. Not figured that one out yet, but maybe there’s a social mirroring effect with Bristol having 2 unis? I’d be gutted if I hadn’t met my Mrs years ago as it’d be a dealbreaker if I met someone now with the fake Made in Chelsea thing going on!!

Scouse sounds very rough to me …

Agree that our diverse accents should be celebrated and enjoyed

Shame when people feel the need to hide their heritage eg Bliar going estuary or that ballet lady on Stictly

But then again I have never had a Brunmie accent despite being born there and bred not far away!
