What?? Are you taking the piss?

We sound nothing alike! The only similarity is we both sound great!

[Locke.]

No I don't mean both accent's sound the same as one another, I mean can't tell the difference between different Scottish accents and different Irish accents.. they all sound the same

Ah right.. sorry

Click on the different accents on the wee map on the right.. You must hear a difference between the one up the very top of the mainland and say, Edinburgh. Do you not even hear a difference between Glasgow and Edinburgh??

[Locke.]

The Caithness one sounds like a right mong.

All of the ones near the bottom sound the same but you can tell the difference between them and the ones near the top

[King Gizzard]

Brummie accent. And don't kill me but I'm not a fond admirer of Yorkshire/Manc accents. Do like Liverpudlian and Geordie though.

Irish accents sound very different, there's a huge difference for example between the Cork, Dublin and Belfast accents

em South African I'm not too keen on

[ILoveTRW]

South African, its just weird

[Crimson Dynamo]

any london related one that says free instead of three is disgusting to the ear, mix in with that the ones who who speak like a west indian and it is brutal

[Lee.]

Seeing as everybody else has said it, I'll admit that I too find the Brummie accent one of the worst.

Got to be South African - something about it just grates.

Oh...and anyone who says, "Oh... you're Scotch"- usually from over the pond.


Yeah...I look like a fecking bottle of whisky don't I.

or a fecking egg?!

Winds me up too!

My (English) OH refers to me as "Scotch" often!

Hmm, surprised Essex, mockney or Estuary English hasn't been mentioned yet. Bit grating but it really depends, I think, on what you say rather than how you say it. An articulate Essex voice is fine.

I am from Ayrshire and on the rare occasions that I have heard a recording of my voice I can't believe how Scottish I sound. :S

If you can't tell the difference between Ireland's many manky accents then you ought to go to the doctors for a check up I reckon.

Same here, the first time I heard a recording of myself I thought "Omg I actually sound like a female ned"

Only because down south some people can't understand them, they also get it confused with the Black Country accent and they are two completely different things, there's life beyond Birmingham.

I think most people hate the sound of their own voice though.. You probably don't sound as bad as you think you do.

[bbfan1991]

I find the Scouse accent slightly irritating after a while.

[Chuck]

Indian, Chinese, Brazilian, Italian, Russian, most of the asians actually.

[Niall]

Manchester. Ugh.

[Chuck]

Omg Cockney just sounds vile as well.

[Stacey.]

Chuck aren't you Brazilian? :s
