Worst: Scouse accents have to be the worst, they're just disgusting. Also the really strong Welsh accents as they're very annoying

Best: Thick Scottish and Irish accents, they're amazing

:nono:

Anyway ... best - Scouse, Cockney, Irish, Northern Irish, "Jafaican" (new inner city London accents/West Indian twang). I'm also pretty keen on Jamaican/Trinidadian accents.

Worst - most African accents and Brummie/Black Country are terrible. Not a massive fan of the East Anglia (Norfolk/Suffolk) accents either.

The rest are probably somewhere in between.

Like most Irish & American accents (apart from really southern American ones).

Most regional English, Scottish & Welsh accents are pretty bad though

Best: Manchester, Republic/Northern Ireland/Jamaican.

Worst: Landan/Essex, never used to mind it until TOWIE etc came along and ruined it. The Scouse accent can slightly grate on me at times too.

Brummie always gets slagged off as being the worst one, but i'll always strongly disagree with it as it is the closest big city to me:blush:.

It's pretty uncommon here to not here someone say ma'am or sir.

See that's odd because I actually really like all those accents you hate and with the exception of Irish and Southern I hate all those accents you love LOL. I guess mild Black Country's not that bad but when it's full-blown (like in that video) it's awful LOL.
