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.

The British Isles includes Ireland. I love a Yorkshire accent, Dundee, Southern Ireland and whatever Joanna Lumley' s accent is.

Love love love a Geordie accent. DP has family in Newcastle and I half want to to move there, partly to be near them because I love them but partly so our DCs develop an accent!

Dislike Scouse, Brummie, Norfolk. Highland Scotland is pretty lovely though.

Posh posh RP. Like Rupert Campbell black or something.

Swoon.

The only "accent" I can't really stick is RP - I prefer it if I can hear a wee twang of something or other in there. Favourite's probably Geordie though. Or Orcadian. As a Glaswegian with an accent thick as tar, I have respect for the only people in Britain whose accents are less comprehensible than mine

‘Welsh’ is not one accent. The variation is huge, most notably between north and south.

NI has a massive range of accents. We could tell what village people were from when I was a child! I think it is a harder accent in the cities like Belfast and then softens towards the west and border.

I love an Edinburgh accent!

Yorkshire and Geordie are the best. Not keen on Brummie or Bristolian. I can't tell the difference between a lot of southern accents apart from real south London as that's where I'm from.

Geordie. Or Soft Scottish.

Amazed how many people like a Scouse accent. Cannot abide it, especially on women.

sandgrown the Irish government do not recognise the term British Isles. The UK is comprised of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland only.

Geordie or Edinburgh accent.

Norfolk or Suffolk- love them both!

Edinburgh for sure!

I'm not being ignorant, people keep saying they love a posh Cheshire/Liverpudlian/etc accent. I've never heard a posh northern accent so would like some examples of celebs so I can google it. I only used the term 'oxymoron' because someone earlier said a northern accent was posh and joked about whether it was an oxymoron.
Jeez, lighten up. Don't take life so seriously.

Bristol accent.
It's gurt lush!

The husbands from Bolton, an accent which I know love to hear especially on men. I think it's part of Peter lays massive appeal

Ahhh Kay obviously

I love a ‘posh’ Scottish accent

A Barnsley accent like my own!

To be fair a thick Barnsley accent is like a language all of its own!

Soft Scouse. DP's accent turns me to jelly.

Oooh I fell completely in love with a farmer from Yorkshire once based on his accent alone but alas it was never to be, apparently a one day livestock market isn't the place to find your soulmate I don't quite know where in Yorkshire and appreciate it probably varies but I'm from Devon so I would be unable to differentiate, what with being so far away and hearing the accent so rarely! It made me laugh tho because he said he loved my accent, I sound v posh (until I get drunk, then I'm very much a Devonshire maid!)

I'm sitting on the fence with this one. I like a lot of accents - but I can dislike an accent I also like. I have a tipping point with all accents which is where it because very pronounced (the point where it might take a little getting used to in order for you to understand without asking for it to be repeated).

I'm going to get off the fence and say Geordie as my favourite, because I'm struggling to think of a famous Geordie whose accent I don't like.

Perthshire
Aberdonian
Highland
Most island accents

Welsh and Yorkshire.

I don’t like a scouse accent, it’s just so squeaky.
