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

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.

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.

West Country accent for no other reason that he ( hh45 ) dissed Geordies as being fake friendly ..numpty! 😆

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.

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.

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!!

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!

Reminded me of this project where they were trying to record regional accents and phrases for certain words.

For some reason if you draw a line from Liverpool through Manchester and into the sea and go 50 miles above and below, all the accents around there seem to grate. But then I hate my own sort of south east estuary-ish accent even more.

Any accent where the owner feels that have to over-emphasise to the rest of us where they come from.
