Ber-ming-gam and Saaaf Laaaandan are just crap. Oop North can sound hot on a chick imho. West Country has been coolified by Bill Bailey. Scottish chicks make me horny.

West country my lovely, if nothing else it makes you laugh.
The proper Norrff Landan accent does my head - its just rough. Or worse yet the Norrf Landan people who insist on taling like they are either an american rapper or some kinda yardie, blood:rolleyes:

Sounds like the riot police then.:eek: Toxteth 1981 is a long faded distant memory.:D
Apart from the elite posh accents, I would not be a fan of a thick Scottish accent. The Welsh has a Cork twang to it. Can be a little unbearable also. Maggie Thatcher's accent was simply ear splitting!!
Absolutely love the Welsh and Liverpool accents!!

Best: the Geordie accent, always funny, and the West Country is quite amusing, but quite good for a laugh too...
Worst: Thick Scouse (like a fork scraping a plate), Brummie (we wanna be togevvvahhh), posh Etonian and geezah London ones...

Like the Scouse accent, don't like the Geordie one at all. I've grown immune and indifferent to the Scottish one at this stage but before I moved here I used to love it on the ol' dolls. Sounded very dirty...

The funny thing is I don't know whether to be defensive or not about your comment, Pauro, as to the untrained ear that's exactly how I sound. Oh, the joys of being a PP... :rolleyes: :o

The Liverpool accent turns my stomach! It's utterly repulsive!
I like most of the other accents but only find accents from certain south eastern areas sexy.
Worst: Birmingham, North East, and anything Scouse enough to fail the chicken test (so lots of East Lancs and North Wales as well as Merseyside).

I have a very soft spot for the Brummie accent and think it's much misunderstood. You're dead right about Yardiff though - I always like listening to Goldie Lookin' Chain for that proper Valley Commando. You knows it. :D
Manc accents just grate on me. Northern English accents in general do my tits in. Nothing beats posh-Home -Counties-with-a-dirty-laugh though. That's my favourite. :)

Either you're being highly ironic in which case :D or you haven't read the title of the thread properly. :)

there's no such thing as a worst British accent... There's just good English accents and terrible American. I absolutely hate the nasal speech of the Americans, especially in the southern states like Texas and New Mexico...
Nice'n'sweet : the Aussie accent! Has something very charming :)
And Scottish is sweet.
