Worst regional accent

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

between essex and west country accents for me, they are sooo annoying!

 

[Highfields Seagull]

The accent in Leicester is the worst - its hard to put it into type, something like:

Lestoh (Leicester)
Asdoh (ASDA)

Can't really complain about Sussex accents as you hardly sound any different to us in Reading.

If you go out towards Newbury then it all becomes a bit westcountry and I bloody hate that. Ditto Pompey and Southampton. Too far away from London to have any real Thamesian/Estuarian accents.

Mancunian accents are quality. Can't believe anyone dislikes 'em.

Another vote for Brummie here I reckon, with Westcountry just behind.

P.S. Reading Posh, what is the Peterborough accent like?!?? Is it East Midlands, or does the London commuter trainline bring some Estuarian twangs up that way?

Also:

Does everyone here get a tad pissed off with the rest of the UK calling the likes of us Sussex/Surrey/East Berks lot "mockneys"? We're nothing like Jamie Oliver throwing in cockney phrases to "look cool" and I don't recall any of you NSC bunch being like that either! Nothing wrong with South-east accents.

Pisses me off a right treat

Scouse accent sounds like they are spitting! Get a scouse to say Stevie Gerrard - cracks me up every time!

I like getting Scots to say "curly worms".

Where's Glaswegian in the poll? Or Welsh? After all they're just regions of England...

A friend of mine went up to Liverpool to watch the Celtic match.

The vendors were selling Liverpool/Celtic scarves outside Anfield.

He bought one simply to hear the bloke say 'halfanhalfscarve' again.

It has to be scouse. Brummie makes me laugh, scouse makes me check my wallet !

 

[Sorrel]

There should be an entry for the general northern thick-sounding accent that annoys me every day up here. Just like the Leicester accents described above.

Instead of Month, they say Munth. It drives me up the wall here.

A girl from essex.no matter how good looking,when she opens her mouth..........

 

[Curious Orange]

I nominate the accent my sister has developed since moving up north, a horrid mix of Sussex/Surrey borders and Manc. Argghh!!!

 

[Van der Gully]

Sorry folks but I voted for scouse, despite having a few mates from there, it was purely because I find it a complete turn off in a lass, I can't help thinking about Cilla Black every time I hear it. On the other side I find the Geordie accent a complete turn on, give me a Newcastle lass any day!!!

It has to be east yorkshire, ie Hull.

Say kirk instead of coke.
nerr instead of no.

Makes them sound stupider then a brummie whos bottom of the class.

 

[Dunkstar]

Brummy-It's annoying and stupid!

Got to agree there -- used to share a house with a Nottingham bloke and East Midlands can be really grating.

"Nairw! Nairw! Com offit! Yiv got tobbe fokking jairwking!"

 

[Exiled in Exeter]

Brummy.

I agree with that. Even other Yorkshire people have trouble understanding the Hull accent.

South Yorks people have a different accent to West Yorks as well.

In Sheffield they call each other duck a lot whereas in Leeds everybody is love. Even bus drivers call men love there !!

I knew a girl from Barnsley, the most indistuishable accent I have ever heard. Its just a noise!
