    Question Best and worst British accents

    My opinion on the best and worst British accents.

    Best: Liverpool accent.

    Worst: Posh Etonian accent associated with the high life society of gentry, politicians, royalty and judiciary, etc.

    Best by far is the Newcastle accent, especially Geordie girls.

    Worst: Definitely scouser accent!

    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

    Sounds like the riot police then. Toxteth 1981 is a long faded distant memory.

    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!!

    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...
