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

Why do people like Irish accents so much? I think we sound horrible. :joker:
My bf is Portuguese and he has the best accent ever. :amazed: So I think that is my favourite.
I also like Welsh, South African, Croatian, Estonian.
I dislike Irish, Northern Irish and Scottish.

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.
The Black Country accent is majestic :hmph:

Best: South African, Cajun & the south's accents in general, Glaswegian, Black Country (:hmph:), Irish.

Worst: Essex, Australian, Baltimore/New Jersey accents, Scouse.

Is Black Country a Birmingham accent? I quite like that accent, I never got the hate for it :laugh:
