Cornish and Devonian are nothing like the Somerset and Bristolian accents.

Liverpool and Essex.

One thing I don't get is being from the Black Country, why do people confuse our accent with Brummies? The 2 accents seem similar, although they are different.

Scouse. Even though I'm from Liverpool myself, the accents are very "rough" and irritating to listen to, even though I'm quite Scouse. Erm, I'm not too keen on the chavvy Mancunians, either. Most of the time, I haven't a clue what they're on about.

Nothing wrong with Brummie.

I don't even know where that is on the poll - but yes the kind of Posh sounding accent.

Most UK accents aren't great really, apart from Geordie which is alright, and the Gloucestershire one

My current accent. I've been told I have a thick Essex/Cockney accent but told but others it's just northern, which is weird. I'm a mix between the two, I guess.

South Wales, the "valleys" accent as it's known here. Most people from Swansea have it, too. Even though I was born in Wales I am so grateful that I do not have the horrible South Wales accent because I hate it.

A Scouse/Essex/Cockney mix? How do you talk Redway? Lol. Shat up. Keep your Brenda Frickers on. That was like boss la. Sound...That's a bit of a mix.

It's definitely a weird accent, although I can put on either one of those accents on its own.

Lancaster/Lanchsire accents should be on the poll, too. I actually can't stand all that "oop noorth/narwth' nonsense. Honestly so annoying.

Brummie. Just an annoying sound all round. An external auditor came into work a while ago from Birmingham. Lovely fella but I did get sick of the accent.

The other would be Essex, epitomised by the awful Amy Childs and the rest. If everyone from Essex doesn't sound like those idiots then apologies, but in general, that one.
