I’ve put Scottish but where were the Aberdeen/Glasgow/Dundee/Edinburgh options instead of lumping us all together

Chances are I sound nothing like Parmnion

Not my fault you have a cleft lip is it.

Dutch, our accent from the province North-Brabant we live in is Brabants with soft G

in the south of Netherlands, yes it is called north-brabant but you have a south-brabant which is in Belgium

[Morgan.]

I just don't really have an accent imo

[Strictly Jake]

Lancastrian but that is different to mancunian and Yorkshire so not sure why all those 3 accents have been lumped together. I have a slight Liverpudlian twang though as my family is from there

[Liam-]

Welsh, I wish it was a stronger accent cause people from Cardiff don’t sound that ‘welshy’

Throw the whole poll away and give Yorkshire it's own option

I speak with a black country accent which is from the West Midlands but it certainly is not a brummie accent. Our way of speaking is one with a rich history and tradition and I won't have it associated with a brummie accent

not reflecting Ireland's status as a foreign country is not right, especially considering the history of British occupation; not cool

On the other hand I listed every dialect in the vicinity of the British Isles separately. Irish speech has more similarities with British accents than anywhere outside the British Isles so I wouldn’t say I’m being disrespectful by not counting Irish accents as 100% foreign as far as linguistics go.

Why not amend it to say : Foreign - Irish?
Physical proximity and linguistic similarity is one thing but history and geopolitics matter. I'd not deny our Irish neighbours their statehood, something they fought for so hard and are rightly proud of. A matter of respect and a sign of recognizing they're not a British province any more or ever again.
