Default Annoying UK accents

Without a doubt the most annoying accent is Conckneys, or those that live near London who pretend to be from London. You're not a gangster, you live in Leighton Buzzard for gods sake!

I tend to like East Anglian and West Country accents, as although they may appear a bit slow, you feel you can trust them.

Scouse for me... I used to go to a gym in Kirkby "La" and the locals were incomprehensible - even to me who lives quite close by. Plus you could easily drown in 'low flying conversation flem' if you walked between two of them having a conversation!

To me thats in the same annoying group as Londoners. I guess If you are a Londoner you would be able to identify the difference.

Anything different to mine as I speak proper, like the Queen, although a tad deeper

Feckin Taffs are extra annoying though

Yes, I agree. Going back "home" to Wickford makes me cringe. Thank God I got out!

The only one that used to bother me was Brummie, until I met a very nice brum filly. The worst thing now is white kids from London putting on Nigerian accents

All accents are regional other than the now-fading received pronunciation, surely?

I rather like the Brummie accent on lasses.

Welsh is my favourite. Agreed re cockney rebels though !

Andy

As for "**** off back to STV" - only if that nutter Salmond has his way ! Up until then we've as much right to be there as anyone else !
