    Glaswegian is by far the worst! Especially when they speak through their noses.

    TBH I'm led to believe that my accent is not the easiest to follow.

    Oh and Capital fm, which seems to breed an accent of its own.

    I like all accents, but as my mate Andrew says - no matter what you do or what do or how presentable you are, there is no way Brummie will ever be cool or credible.

    Andrew is from Birmingham in the West Midlands.

    Not a regional accent - but a cultural one. Those people that still think Upper Class exists. I think Ricky Gervais once discribed the person correctly; public schooled, drinks in All Bar One with polo shirt colars up. The ones who respond to questions postively 'Ya, Ya'. The Quentins and Tarquins of this world.

    everyone seems to miss the obvious one....Example.
    ' Nar den a da oreight den'....'aar aam oreight aar da gooin on den....aar da still gooin darn't Lane den'
    translated means..'how are you'...'I'm fine thanks,and you?..are you still wasting your money in that s*****e full of w****s near the St Annes Roundabout?'
