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

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

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

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