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.

An example of a Newfoundland accent.

I love hearing men with proper broad cockney accents. Very sexy. On women I think a Somerset/Bristol type accent is nice

Mancunian and f**king proud 🙋🏻

I like all accents except the Jafaican type stuff.

I work in S Cumbria and there is an audible change in accent that spans one A road here. You can tell which town or village someone comes from. There are lots of Scots here too (which is always nice to listen to in all its varieties).

I'm a posh Scouser. I know many of you believe that isn't possible but we just have a gentler accent than central Liverpool. There's quite a difference between generations in Merseyside too; it's to do with pollution reducing now the heavy industry is largely gone.

South Wales, specifically, the accent the comedian Elis James has. I think it's beautiful.

Southern welsh / Cardiff area. Very lilting.
I also like a bit of broad Yorks and lancs
Love the Somerset/ Dorset accent too

On a separate issue, it must be utterly rage inducing to be Irish and see people say they like 'southern Irish' accents on a thread asking for your favourite British accent.

Yes, yes it is!

I love most Scottish accents, and the softer NI ones.

I love the Bristol accent!

I’m getting quite proud of the fact, despite not being welsh, I caidentify a Pontypridd accent from a cardiff one

' European accent' that's hilarious

RP first, have a DH with one that's quite deep, people have remarked on how lovely his voice is.

Soft Scottish

I always loved Richard Burtons voice.

Scouse. Love it. Its such a warm accent.

Proper, old fashioned cockney. You dont hear it much these days.

Are Geordie and Welsh a little similar ?
I like both.
I really dislike Scottish and have discovered that I'm Scottish on my estranged father's side. My surname is Scottish.

RP for me.

Lovely West Country accent!

English spoken by an Italian native.

I have a strong Bristollian accent and it grates on my own ears. I had elocution lessons at school and can do RP but the bugger keeps breaking into conversation.

The Welsh accent is lovely.

If anyone can't make up their mind perhaps this will help:

Soft Scottish and North Yorkshire for me.

West country/Somerset. Not my accent but it's accent I associate with low stress, acceptance and calm.

I'm so surprised that so many people have said scouse, I always thought everyone hated our accent!
I like a Geordie accent and some welsh.

Geordie

Strong south Wales accent.or scottish
