I think a lot of us over here think that we have more regional variants of accents in Britain.

I can think of Mancunian, Scouse, Yorkshire, Brummie, Cockney, Cornish, Welsh, Aberdonian, Glaswegian and so on.

Can't think of as many American variations, but it might be that we aren't as used to them here so we don't notice the subtle differences.

Irish by far BUT i can't rate them from1-4 because i love the geordie accent and the scouse of course :tongue: but i can't bare the cockney accent, and there both English so.... :spin2:

Ohhh and the Birmingham accent, pleaseee no. :sad: Cannot stand it. :laugh:

I talk Glaswegian - not like a ned though

A Ned? Care to elaborate, Davie? I'm slightly bewildered! Hehe! :blush2:

A chav

Ah, makes more sense now! :laugh:

Good good, that makes it the best for all of us, you see if you were a Chav..... :shocked::rolleyes:

(I shall leave you to finish the sentence! :laugh:)

Lol

Glaswegian accent is known to be chavy - but everyone here tlks like it. But you the chavs - well you know what people are like when their own drugs etc ..

I rest my case

I agree completely! .... I think! :spin:

I don't really think I have an accent, just normal English accent. The only accent in the Lincs/Peterborough area seems to be a habit of dropping "t"s, which I can't stand, and so make sure I don't do it! :tongue:

Lol.

:spin2: confused.

too many accents. :)

ive got a hint of geordie in me according to princess :puzzled::bouncy:

whey aye man

lol scoobs. i like geordie one

Even down in the South-west there are more than one accents, Cornish, Devon, Plymothian, Bristolian, Somerset - the Somerset accent is the most "ooo aarrrr" i think
Dorset probably have there own one too but I wouldnt be able to recognise it unlike the others though.

Yeah i agree if we glaswegians went down to London of somewhere like that then i think they would think of us all as neds (chavs).

My fave accent is Irish-esp. Dublin i love that one. I'm also quite fond of the geordie accent.

my top 4 in order is

1.Irish
2.Scottish
3.Englad
4.Wales (sorry to all the welsh on the forum!)

Aberdeen = Drunken chav talk. xD

Aye min fit like? BOO! WE'RE SHEEP SH***ING B******S AND PROOOOUD.


*sighs* It's true.

Well, I have a Dutch Accent......

Think Martin Jol, only deeper, and you have me. :hello:

i hate my accent!

us lot up here in the north east talk proper man :spin:

I love a nice Scouse accent. I much prefer people to have accents than those with the non-specific voices where you dont know where they are from. Its part of our identity.

I love our Brummie accent.:thumbs:

I suppose you could say I am a geordie - I dont have a very broad accent though

I love the Scouse accent :xyxwave:

Who doesn't love the lovely scouse accent?! :wink: :tongue:

I love the Scouse accent too. And the way Wlesh people speak is fab <3

I've got a big farmery Irish accent. Think Colin Farrel but less Dublinish and more farmerish.:thumbs:

I don't have a particular accent - a lot of people would assume I have a bit of a Geordie accent cos I'm from the North East but a few of my mates from the Midlands and down South haven't picked up on that as much as I thought they would do.

Glaswegian, but not so harsh. I get asked if I'm really from Glasgow a lot. :laugh:
