Really rich Yorkshire accents baffle me. They talk so fast and miss words out, swap around words, have nicknames for everything. We once had neighbours from Bradford and I couldn't understand a word they were saying half the time!

only a strong scottish accent is hard to understand from those for me

strongest accents are usually foreign accents like African, Indian, Oriental and Jamaican

I find Scottish and Welsh most hard to understand. I know both Welsh and Scottish people in real life like, and sometimes I can't even make out a single word in their sentence.

Geordie's, they speak so fast, use words I've never heard of and end up confusing me

I think the Aberdonian and Glaswegian accents are quite difficult to understand if you're not familiar with either...
