Least favourite British accent/dialect

[pboromag]

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 have a black mate who talks patwa to his family
Sounds magical

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.

Canadians sound much the same to me except for the east coasters and Quebec. Whenever I'm over your side, the first day sounds a bit strange but then I fall right back into it.

Lol. Strange how some accents are almost contagious. I find myself very susceptible to this wherever I go.

Strangest thing I experienced was in a restaurant in France being served by a Chinese waiter speaking perfect French trying to speak English. Trippy.

I met a lad in London last year (born and bred in UK) with a NZ accent. His missus was from there and he spent a year there.
*******s if you ask me - shows some people are desperate to fit in. At school in Newcastle I had the p*ss ripped constantly for not having a geordie accent and even speaking fluent portuguese now I have a strong British accent (tried to lose it but can’t even after 20 yesrs!).

To answer the question, the worst accent in the country (by a mile) is Brummie IMO.
