    followed by Australian rising intonation, </p>

    followed by posh young Englishkids who also now dorising intonation on account of watching too many episodes of Neigbours, </p>

    followed byLondon/Essex wide-boy accent with 'yeah' on the end of every sentence.</p>

    welsh is good

    sounds like they're singing when they're talking, bet it's exhausting doing that all the time

    don't like Mancunian twang but other parts of deep, dark Lancashire can actually be quite amusing for a while, don't know if I could live with it all the time though

    How can you hate something that's so funny?

    I still maintain that if I was Prime Minister I would pass the law that all TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language) teachers would have to be brummie so that all foreigners subsequently spoke with a brummie accent. Purely for my own personal amusement.

    Women - Barnsley Men - Notts

    The schreeching Barnsley accent on some women is worse than drawing your fingers down a blackboard.</p>

    Notts accent men - you could punch them all night and never get tired.

    Thinking about this some more ....

    ... after the tarn accent, the next best has got to be proper lancashire (not Manc).. Do you not think so? No, do you not?
    After that a bit of wales (is it), especially on a lass.

    I don't find a tame scouse, if it was strong it would get a bit annoying though.

    Considering I'm in Teesside at the moment...

    1. Middlesborough. Not Yorkshire, not Geordie. Just ****.

    2. Birmingham. Makes even the fittest girl unshaggable.

    3. Leeds. Worst accent in Yorkshire. Well, assuming Boro classed as Teesside.

    4. Essex. Cockney is a great accent. Essex isn't.

    and if I could add a 5th- Parsons Green. Posh cnuts.
