    Scouse and Brummie for me. I think Scouse always sounds so common I'm no upper class guy like bus Christ everyone of them sounds like they've just come out of job centre. The Brummie accent I just find so slow, and find it strange how they pronounce certain letters when speaking.

    This is so true! That is one of the worst I've heard, sounds incredibly stupid.

    Anybody got a decent link to a video with someone who's speaking with a Mackem accent? Not sure I've got it right.

    London,I'm sure you are talking about the merchants who come out with "Jowamim" translated into "Do you know what I mean"

    Agree with you Bill I’ve worked with loads of Cockneys over the years and their horrible people

    I wouldn’t trust them as far as I could throw them always looking for an angle and lazy barstewards to boot

    yes as someone who has worked with cockneys and geordies i must admit both think manual labour is a mexican ,

    wouldnt trust any of them they would all nick the fillings from your mouth given half the chance worse than the bin dipping scousers some of them

    mind you i know two cockney nurses and they are the salt of the earth

    suppose its just how unlucky you are
    i usually find the better the person the better person you get associated with
    work with dogs and all that

    not all of course
    some are ok

    the ones i have met from here are anyway

    Love them all in their own way.

    As the world gets smaller and we all use the same silly slang, abbreviations, text talk, American and Ossieisms I think the rich variety of accents in such a small place needs to be appreciated. Even in the ssme region there are subtle differences heard by the trained ear.

    I particularly like the Geordie accent followed by the Bolton, Ulster Scots County Antrim, the Glaswegian, Welsh valleys and I find the West Country accent very endearing.

    Dont mind a proper Cockney but hate the fake ones some have along with the fake Gangsta accents tinged with fake American/African/West Indies when they haven't set foot out of their home town.

    Though the Es***, Dublin and Londonderry accents do grate.

    Brummie I find comical, even in Peaky Blinders.

    Favourite of all is a woman with a deep south accent, Louisiana, Georgia.

    Phew.

    I had a mate years ago, went to Canada on holiday and came home talking with a Canadian accent for a month. Daft cnt.

    Also a childhood mate now lives in Yorkshire complete with the full accent. Surreal.
