Which is the best and worst accent in the country?

**ken foree** · 08/03/2006, 7:29 PM

if yis are gonna waz all over louth accents at least get the 'drawwdeh' pronunciation right! 'lurha him emelda, he's gawwjus.' <---this type of thing. mate has a well-spoken kildare accent believe it or not, not sure which part he's from.. eh, in fact it is because of his bizarre baritone that i'm enlisting him for a strange doom poem reading.

worst: athlone

A strong, thick Mayo accent is horrendous to listen to.

Some of the galway accents in singing can be pretty unbearable.

A United Accented Ireland should be a universal Dublin accent.

Cant stand west of Ireland accents. God they drive me almost as demented as southern ones...Midlands and north are only bareable ones.

Paul, your accent sounds like an old Morris Minor engine trying to start on a frosty morning.

Best: Dundalk

Worst: Cork

**Risteard** · 09/03/2006, 3:24 PM

Ya can't pick Dundalk i'm afraid, or Louth for that matter.
I'm afraid you'll have to edit it to Drogheda.
