To ask what your favourite British accent is?

Help settle a debate.

Best British accent for me is northern Welsh. especially in men but I'm also a sucker for Geordie and a nice light brummie.

Scottish Isles is best. Yorkshire is the worst.

Where is Rebecca Rabbit on Peppa Pig from? I think that accent is supposed to be annoying and it is. Don't mind any accent if it's a mild version.

oh yes George Clarke! His accent is cute and he's so huge, good combo. For him.

Posh northern accents are usually people who have moved from London to Yorkshire, probably in finance.
So not northern accent at all.

North Wales accent..I could be biased cariad

Yorkshire, just get someone from there to say buffers 😂😂😂

Love a posh I. E RP English accent.

Irish, Scottish accent too.

Definitely Welsh. You could call someone a "fucking cunt" in a Welsh accent and it would still sound lilting and poetic.

West Country accent for me! Ooh aarrrr

The roadie from Wayne's World who says: And I had to beat them to death with their own shoes.

Brummie
South London
Glaswegian
Cornish
Sussex (not Brighton, proper rural old Sussex)
Derry/Belfast
Mancunian

A vote for RP here

@Efnisien ........where though? Huge difference between say Denbigh and Caernarfon or Flint and Blaenau.

Am I the only one that finds a Geordie accent grating? I love a Somerset accent, it's so gentle and friendly. A soft Galway accent or Edinburgh are very nice on the ears too.

No you’re not Bonfires but a Scottish accent has the same effect on my ears too.

Adore a northern Irish one though.

Definitely north east. I won't say Geordie as my grandad was from South Shields and he would be offended! It's the only northern accent I like. Also love Irish accent - north and south - and a proper cockney geezer accent.

Posh Yorkshire - Alistair Brownlee?

Brizzle, of course!
If you know you know
Cheers drive!

roconnell I admire your excellent taste

Just going to leave this here.

Such a gorgeous accent the taxi driver has.

Scottish, not just my favourite of British but of all the accents

eloisesparkles ahh ok, thanks for that. I used to go out with a guy from south side, and he always said he had a south side accent. All the people I met in his area had a very different accent to the 'Boyzone' type Irish accent which I wasn't keen on (and which he told me was north side).

I know I prob pissed off many Irish people by including the ROI in this (I absolutely know ROI is NOT part of Great Britain), but only did so because it had been mentioned before.

Home Counties/very posh English on a man makes me go gah gah thank God new man has this too

I'm from Liverpool and would be classed as a "posh scouser" too... I myself hate the really broad scouse accent that lots of people have, it's not as many as it used to be though!

I am being honest and hate the brummie accent but absolutely love geordie and really posh Home Counties accents, also have a soft spot for South Wales though have never been there

Insomniac James Ellis' accent is absolute perfection, agreed. What part of Wales is Rhod Gilbert from? His makes me go weak

If you read Shakespeare's sonnets in a Birmingham accent, they suddenly start to rhyme properly. There is every chance that our bard spoke like this.
I've never heard this before, that's genuinely fascinating to me
