I have just been watching two Newcastle United players trying to say a number of geordie phrases in a geordie accent. Now I love French accents and can confirm that these two speaking in geordie does it for me!
Have you a favourite accent and if so what? Also do you have any favourite words that are very much only associated with where you are from?

A well spoken woman is nice, boarding on posh.
Do love the Irish accent also, and being Irish myself its definitely closest to "home" for me.
Latino accents also. |

"How come no English people ever say an English accent? Well you know what, that's what does it for me. A nice, normal, Queen's English accent."
There is no "English " accent
So many regional accents and dialects that you can't just call anyone an English accent
Same with Ireland, depends in where you live there is a difference
Up here in Scotland is similar we also have different regional dialects and sounds that split the Scots accent

So why only reply to my comment? I specified 'Queen's English', whereas are just generalising (ie: Scottish, Welsh, Irish). |

"Just lately it's been the Geordie accent. 
Not just ANY Geordie accent.
I dunno what yours sounds like."
Apparently I am 'not that geordie' whatever that means. Definitely not Geordie Shore! |

Just thought I'd say I HATE regionalisation and if it was up to me every part of England would speak the Queen's English.
I left North Yorkshire in 2003 and moved to Dorset. Since then, I have always made a conscious effort to annunciate every word properly. |

I like well spoken too, however I am pretty proud of my Geordie accent too. I am proud to live where I do and the accent is synonymous to that (for me).
There's nothing right or wrong with an accent, I wouldn't judge someone based on theirs. Some are just more aurally pleasing to others I guess! |

Yay, I'm perfect
I love women with a Northern Irish or Scottish accent.
Oh no - I have neither of these!  "
Oh - forgot to mention, I also have a particular thing for women with a south-east Wiltshire accent. Gets me every time |

When I lived up in Sunderland many years ago I'm pretty sure my accent was responsible for the vast majority of the sex I had!
The question i got asked a lot was
"will you please say my name again"
I need to move back to England!

A lot of my relatives lived in Surrey when I was growing up and my best female friend is from there - she (and they) had a bit of an accent, but I couldn't pin it down further than South-East probably.
I honestly do like a cultured, but not overly pish English accent!
Is there a Tidworth in Surrey too, or are you exiled?
I've heard of the place, but I thought it was Bedfordshire before googling! |

Being from Durham I don't really have an accent. Sound Geordie to southerners and seem a bit smoggy or Yorkshire to some people. Defoe a Geordie when I've had a drink though. However I love an Irish accent or Scottish!. |

Interesting topic. Historically speaking there's no such thing as Queen's English. Received pronunciation is a hyperbolised version of the home counties accent. Until relatively recently - 150-200 years most monarchs and royal families spoke European languages as their first language and so had European accents. Probably as most were born or raised in europe. |

Queens English, is a fairly modern accent. Lots if others are far older. They have a better claim to being nationalised. But that's neither mickling nor muckling. |

Almost any but mine 
Irish, Australian, Russian, northern like Yorkshire, southern like cockney.
These stand out for me

1) Australian.
2) That lovely Southern American drawl (but the speaker HAS to have a deep voice).
3) South African.
4) Spanish.
5) Irish.
6) (a good description was used earlier for this one) The Queen's English (I.e: Hugh Grant, Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry).
