    Least favourite British accent/dialect

    Which one do you dislike the most? This is particuarly interesting for me to hear what you guys think, me being non-British.

    Obviously, I love the Geordie accent - might be biased here. Not too keen on the Scouser one, although it's got character.

    I like the Noel Gallagher manc accent, but not the Gary Neville one - can you tell the difference? Or is that just because I like Noel G and dislike Gary N.?

    This might be unpopular, but I'm not that keen on Irish accents in general

    Has to be a mackem accent. It gets right on my nerves. Followed by the new London accent that is tinged with a bit of Jamaican in it that all the wannabee gangsters use now.False as fùck.

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

    Hahaha

    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"
