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.

Any accent for me apart from RP. I love a Georgie accent though- it's so melodic.

Oh! And men from the hull, Grimsby, Lincoln type area.

I don't generally like accents on women tho, I know that sounds terrible, apart from a soft Scottish and a just barely there south Welsh. Fussy ha!

Love the Geordie accent so much that I moved just outside Newcastle and had Geordie children!

Brummie but less so the Black Country.

The first boy I kissed, in the middle of the night in a tumbledown country house, had a Birmingham accent. Love it always.

As a lliverpudlian I am loving all of the scouse accent love! Meh to the ones who don’t like it you can’t help where you are from. Personally I love Geordie accents and Jamie Dornans northern Irish accent.

Geordie definitely!

Bear - as an English daughter of Irish parents I know the difference but the OP asked for favourite British accents. A previous poster said Ireland is not part of Britain. Even if not recognised by the Irish government maps do still show the island of Ireland is one of the British Isles.

Im Glaswegian and I love the Manchester and Northern Irish accents.

Yorkshire. Sheffield preferably

It's not northern Wales or southern Wales.
It's North Wales and South Wales and the accents are North Walian and South Walian.

The accent in east North Wales is very, very different from west North Wales.

I'm North Walian and to me the accent varies from mild scouse to chickens chatting and everything inbetween.

For me a West Yorkshire accent is the best. Throw in a bit of dialect and I'm swooning. Luckily for me DP is from the Huddersfield area.

Ah yes, old Cockney... that's lovely. I remember reading that the old traditional London accents were gradually dying out, which is a shame.

I love Yorkshire, Lancashire and all Scottish accents.

Scottish (I'm not sure which area, but the softer type of Scottish accent).

Welsh

Clipped English public schoolboy accent in men.

Geordie accent and Welsh for me. (I bet nobody votes for the Essex or east end accent though) Birmingham one is also good.

For my fellow Yorkshire accents lovers, here's Barnsley poet I

Oops! Here's Ian Macmillan explaining different Yorkshire accents to Stephen Fry

Durham and Orkney accents are the best. 😍

South-west Wales - I could listen to Elis James all day.

Just to be clear, Irish people find the brits insistence that we are part of Britain highly offensive. We are not. Also as has already been pointed out the Irish Gov doesn't recognise the term British Isles, so kindly just leave ROI out of these discussions.

For me, most Scottish accents and RP.

Georgie accent definitely

Whatever Jack o' Connell's accent in Skins is......that.

Just music to my ear.

@Sheitgeist thank you it's brilliant.

DP is an accent master and can do so many.

too much forgive my ignorance, what's 'orcadian?'

And I didn't know Orkney had an accent, although of course I see now it would do - what's it similar to?

Love the Hebridean accent. I have a very stringAyrshire accent that has been diluted as I spend so much time in Glasgow. It comes out much stronger on the way home by avoytthetime I reach Kilbirnie i’mright Back into ‘seevin, eeleevin and ony’.

I remember reading some shite American novel where one of the characters had a ‘European accent’?!. Pretty sure that someone from Warsaw sounds entirely different to someone from Birmingham or Paris for example.

Leanne Wood's accent - Plaid Cymru Just gorgeous.

I love my nephews' soft Devonian accent.

Despite being from Norn Iron hi, I've often been asked if I'm from Newfoundland!
