Worst regional accent

[Safeway]

For me it's got to be the North Kent/Essex one. It just sounds soooo pikey, it's disgusting. Cockney's bad but at least there's a touch of happy-go-luckyness about it.

Northern Ireland accent seem to have something really sinister about it and all Brummies just sound thick, but people from Sarfend, 'Jillinem' and the like just sound the worst.

Which accent really makes you want to shout "SHUT UP YOU INBRED ****"?

I head Cheryl from Girls Aloud speak yesterday. Geordie accents are GAY.

I quite like Welsh though.

 

[DTES]

The Welsh accent. Nothing to do with the people either, before I get accused of being Kilroy in disguise by some people. I can't stand it, especially the accent from deep in the Valleys.

And geordie accents are funny, not gay.

Scouse just does me in, cant understand a f***ing thing they go on about! hate pikey sounding Essex/London but Scouse.....WHAT? ARGH!

 

[Mr Popkins]

What Welsh accent? The Cardiff accent is horrible but the west Walian one is very euphonic.

And what Northern Irish accent? Catholics and Protestants have got different accents, something that bugged me until Mrs Gwylan pointed out that they live in different parts of the country.

Brummie for me...I really hate it.

Good poll.
I think the only way to answer this question, is "which accent would I LEAST like to be lumbered with when I talk ?"
For me, there's only one clear answer to that, and its Brummie. That god-awful, dreary gutteral whine which picks up at the end of every sentence, so that every single thing they say sounds like a completely BONE question. All brummies basically sound retarded. I'd rather sound like a pikey wide-boy from SAAARFEND than a mentally challenged special needs inbred from the West Midlands.

The accent that you refer to as "Brummie" is more actucally Black Country (West Brom, Wolves, dudley etc.) the one that Barry in AWP is supposed to be.

The main "brummie" accent is nothing loyk that.

Brummies refer to these as Yam Yams.

 

[Vinyl Richie]

Any STRONG accents. Like a strong welsh is punchable but a medium Welsh can be funny.

Whole Jennifer Ellison (sp?) thing comes into play. She's like the men's version of Beckham. Creamy, just don't open your mouth (to talk I mean).

True dat, innit. Wicky wicky WAI. *snaps fingers*

You seem to have forgotten the accent that many young lads mysteriously seem to acquire, the one that, despite them being white, middle class, and brought up in somewhere like Weybridge, Sunningdale or Norfolk, sounds like a cross between Trenchtown and inner city Hackney.

Witness Abs, one time "singer" with Five, or Tim Westwood off Radio 1.

Twats.

Sorry, but they all sound the same to me. The differences between Brummie and "yam yam" must be so subtle as to be barely noticable. And if I did notice a slight difference, I'd probably just shrug and put it down to a speech impediment.

It's hilarious that accent. My missus works in a girls' school and they all speak like that, so it's not just lads.

No the brummie accent is quite different its just that the media has called the yam yam accent a brummie accent and it has stuck.

They're not the same.Essex is London but N Kent is London with a distinctive wurzel twang about it.Very different.

True, shouldn't have categorised boys quite so quickly, I just thought they were more likely to speak like a member of So Solid Crew than girls.

When they try and put on these accents it always makes me think of Harry Enfield's Kevin and Perry, when Perry went up to Manchester and when he came back he was all like "yeah man, sorted alright", so Kevin poorly attempted to copy his Manc tones and sounded like even more of a tit.

As do 12 year old "ghetto boys" from inner city black holes like Poynings, Polegate and Steyning.

 

[ditchy]

Glaswegian even scots cant understand it

 

[Dover]

Welsh. I cannot stand it when their voice gowes up at the end of a sentance. Drives me mental.

North Kent & Essex. Different from South east Kent, where I originate from, but both are horrible.

Ghetto kids are absoultley all over the place. Not just in the better areas. Go to south London, and loads of young people are trying to talk like a New York gangster.
