I have a Scouse accent although it is much softer than it used to be. As to whether it is annoying I do have recordings if you wish to test your irritation threshold  |

"I dont have a dislike per say... but i just dont understand the scots accent, my ears pick it up like a totally different language!  "
I lived with two Scottish guys when at first started work, from Glasgow and Paisley. I can vouch for the fact that on many occasions it was a different language with different vocabulary |

I really love regional accents in general, one of the things that really amuses me living in the UK is how short a distance you have to travel before the accent changes drastically. We have such huge variations in accents and dialects considering what a relatively small country we are in terms of land mass. The only UK accent I don't really like is the 'estuarine' inflection you'd get in Kent and maybe parts of Essex. Flat, nasal sounding and one of those accents that makes female voices sound a bit trashy rather than sexy and alluring. On the other hand I have a bit of a fetish for a thick black country or Brummie accent on a drop-dead gorgeous woman. Throwback to my uni days at Aston where I had some pretty major crushes on a couple of local lasses... |

Born and bred in N London (Hornsey, now part of Harringey which was only a ward then and spelt Harringay)I could almost tell which road people lived in by their accent.
Left London a long time ago, but people still know where I started life.

Some accents are easier to 'tune-in' to than others, often depending on the speed of the speech, all are fine once the ears adjust.
Sometimes for me it's the dialect that's slowing down my understanding, love learning new regional words for things though!

"Welsh accent
There’s always one lol! What’s so bad about the Welsh accent, we have many variations here ?"
Indeed we do, Newport and Cardiff accents are sooo different even though there's barely a couple of miles between them. Valley's accent can either grind my gears or make me feel nostalgic, depends on my mood  |

Does the same for me. Like nails down a chalkboard.
Apologies not trying to be deliberately offensive to Scousers. I don't understand why that accent has a negative effect on me, it just seems too.
My fav accents are South African and Irish. |

"Can’t stand midlands, most unsexy accent going
Love the sound of my own voice - best accent "
There's no such thing as a Midlands accent. There's a he'll of a lot of different dialects incorporated between North Staffordshire and the bottom of Northamptonshire and from Lincs, virtually across to Wales. |

The thing with accents though is that there is the stereotypical accent but quite a lot of people with said accent tend to have a different vibe to it.
I'm scouse, when I hear a scouser on TV I cringe, I cringe hard. Or when I hear the stereotypical scouse accent, even I have trouble understanding it...
However if you actually go to the place said accent is from there are a fair few different dialects and versions of the accent that are quite tolerable.
Scally scouse is the one most know with Liverpool. Then there is the version of Scally scouse that you often see on TV, I call it celebrity scouse which is essentially Scally scouse trying to appear better spoken for the camera. Then there is "posh scouse" which is naturally well spoken scouse, not as bad to put up with. |

That's actually exactly why it grates me, everything sounds like a condescending question. God knows how it became standard for them to do it at the end of every sentence. |

Mr C has a South African accent, albeit very soft and practically Cockney, according to other South Africans
I dont hate, just dont find it attractive....Scottish accent. A nice burr. Soft and gentle Scottish accent is lovely but a harsh Scottish accent just makes my back shoot up and make that 'bad smell' face. Miss C Xx |

Finally, someone who doesn't find the black country accent so repellent.

" common as muck. "
I lived in America before I came the the UK when I was 7 or thereabouts, I'd never heard the expression 'common' before and it made me really upset that people actually cared enough about how others said things that it made them think less of the person. In general American society is more egalitarian and people don't tend to look down on each other's social standing in the same way as Brits. And as I got older, it also made me laugh that the only type of people I heard who used the word 'common' to describe others were all from the same type of council estate stock themselves anyway... Real pot calling kettle black kind of thing. |

I accept that the Birmingham accent is hardly the most inspiring, the words tend tone down at the end in a slightly depressing way.
I do think there is a bit of misconception about it though, most people tend to call anything West Midlands-ish, Birmingham. There's a massive variation of accents across the WM area. I've seen a few people on this thread saying they don't like the Midlands accent, which is a pretty bonkers thing to say and only shows a lack of knowledge of what constitutes the Midlands area.
The Birmingham accent is also said to be one of the hardest to mimic, so quite often those we hear on tv are somewhere in between a cross section of accents.
It's fairly rare to hear a Birmingham accent on the tv, given that is regarded as the second city. It's never had mass popular appeal, always regarded as a hard working city rather than trendy such as Manchester of Liverpool. Most people latch onto the parody accents used on tv ads and some sitcoms.
To me, the Birmingham accent to south and east of the city is quite a friendly, reassuring sound a la Mike Skinner but once you start moving north into Aston and the like, it becomes very harsh and aggressive like Ozzy Osbourne.
Once you've crossed the road into West Brom and beyond you're into a whole different spectrum and I'll leave that lot to defend themselves.
As an example; the only Brummie in "Auf Wiedersehen, Pet" was Pat Roach but his accent didn't sound thick enough to play somebody from the West Mids so they made him a Bristolian and brought Tim Spall in to ham up the West Bromwich accent, pretty much says it all really. |

Some accents just sound more trusting, others less so.
If you were having a heart oporation and just before you go under you hear the surgeon speak with a very heavy Brummy or scouse accent you'd probably think your going to die.
It's been proven that airline pilots that have a nothern accent sound more trusting and capable to passengers. |

To be fair, if I heard the surgeon speak with a heavy scouse accent I'd think that somebody had been in and nicked the bed. |

I work in a control room in Scotland and we speak to people all over the UK every day.
I don't mind the scouse accent but I find the younger generation now screech instead of talk which is really hard to understand over a headset.
Midlands isn't too bad and neither is Grordie.
Glasgow can be hit or miss but Bristol!!! I really struggle with them.
The good thing is.... It makes us all unique because who the hell would want to be all the same |

We’ve had some Scouser in this week at work, they’ve been an absolute joy to listen to the pair of them, the way they said chicken, I go off with a little smile on my face.
I don’t think any accent is off putting, maybe French if I had to choose.
Danish x |

Being from Liverpool I couldn’t agree more, i cringe whenever i hear them when on the telly, although i will say the accent back in the 50s and 60s was far more pleasant on the ears, but these days i would say the northern scouse accent is far worse than southern. |
