Northern Red Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Worst: Stoke. A cross between Scouse & Brummie, which are pretty foul by themeselves. Put them together and you have an accent which could peel paint off walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinC Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Worse: Warrington... not quite scouse, not quite mancunian. Next worse: Chatham. Spoken by the tattooed ladies of the Thames estuary!Best: Hmmmmm................ maybe Bristol, cos when I hear it it makes me feel as though I'm "home" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Best, definately Scottish, male not female!Worst, Brummie, even the intellegent sound thick or anything Welsh.And Bristolian?

Dollymarie Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Have to say I don't like Scouse womens accents but I love scouse mens accents.My favourite of all though has to be Irish accents, I could listen to them all day, I used to get my irish friend at school to say "Thirteen, and three" and all those other things that Irish people say that sound Yummy!

Guest DrFaustus Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Best, definately Scottish, male not female!Ya right hun? Best? Northern Spanish for a woman, for sure. Closely followed by Western Ireland and Highland Scots.Worst? Brum, Cockney, Newport and Bridgwater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagest Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 I don't like Cockney or Scouse.When people talk Cockney (esp. rhyming slang) it's an interesting cultural phenomenon, yet when people talk Bristolian they're un-educated plebs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We now have a swagger and attitude which is borne by years of looking up to the big team in Bristol, hence we now talk in deferrential hushed tones of awe and respect.Occasionally, we make sense.

We used to try to 'Bristolian' him as a kid but his accent was too strong. We had a sentence we would try to get him to say, can't remember it all now but it was something about thirteen thiefs went picking thistles in a thunderstorm!I didn't realise until after we had given our son his name when he was born that my Dad couldn't say it, Matthew is pronounced as 'Matt-Chew'!

Red`s Ashtonic Lustpit Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Scouse & Scotish............ unless you are a bird in which case it would be acceptableScotish?If you meant Scottish, that is like saying English. My folks are from North East Scotland. That is an inpenetrable accent, totally different from Glaswegian, Edinburgh or Highland. Just as Cockney is totally different to Briz/Scouse/Black Country.I work in the Black Country, and actually like the accent, even though it is hard on the ears!

WTFiGO!?! Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 I find Brummie to be the Country's ugly accent. Ollllwoight mait, erppp ther Villllaaaaa!I'm liking Irish (couldn't tell you which region) and on a bird dare I say it.......Welsh (again, couldn't distinguish between the regions.)I actually quite like scouse, can't say I'm that smitten with Bristolian (apparently it makes us sound thick - a very lazy accen'), although I'm told I have more of a West Country twang so thats all good .

The Batman Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 The Wolverhampton twang of a Brummie accent is horrid. Because it mixes the Brummie accent with Dudley's and it really is wrong. The Bristolian accent is the best by a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red`s Ashtonic Lustpit Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 The Forest of Dean accent is weird. Very strong rural Glos accent with a hint of Welsh! Nodoubt I`ll get abuse from Foresters for that.PS-My nan was from the Forest (in my defence). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucksred Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Cant STAND whiney Mank accents, or the equally dismal Brummie ones either, and bloody Cockernee ones (Pyssed off wi em round this neck of the woods!! )I gotta say a real thick Briz accent sure as hell makes y'all sound thick (Sorry!) but a softer one does sound pretty cool...definitely an asset, specially on the good lookin women down there, and plenty of them there are.

Flaxbourton Red Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Cant STAND whiney Mank accents, or the equally dismal Brummie ones either, and bloody Cockernee ones (Pyssed off wi em round a lot of manc accents you hear on Tv are actually fake, some people who live in the north edge of manchester have a lancashire type accent and some of them also attempt to fake bits of the mancunian accent depending on who they are talking to or where they are. its not that bad in reality, although having said that i cant understand some people with a salfordian accent.Birmingham and the black country are pretty bad accents as is the comical english spoken by the south welsh.The best is somerset i think.
