With respect to all of the above you've obviuosly never visited Birmingham or Wolverhampton, horrible accents! they dont open their mouths when the talk, just mumble!

I love the geordie accent though, class!

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).

Best: Welsh
Worst: Scouse

Anyway I reckon your still shaking from those terrifying London accents you heard from the 'failte go hell' reception you got from the Londain Central Line Service Crew last year at Ruislip.

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.

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.

Don't know about a best but the worst has to be the Dublin 4 DORT accent.

Either you're being highly ironic in which case

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.
