Yes because you can not determine where they come from you should be proud of your county
Hate to burst your bubble but a genetic bbc type accent is what most of the world associate with the UK rather than a thick regional accent. Most us as who live here can appreciate the variety!

OP- Are you drunk?

Do you mean posh accents? Plummy? that sort of thing or you don’t like south London accents?

Fairislefandango · 06/07/2022 20:17

Unfortunately for those from there

I don't imagine you'd like it if people said the same about Yorkshire, OP. I mean... parts of Yorkshire are quite nice and all, but not as amazing as Yorkshire people incessantly insist. And the accent is... ok.

Is being thick, rude and prejudiced also part of your regional identity, then? Because right now you’re really making me think I’ll give Yorkshire a miss tbh.

DontLikeCoffee · 06/07/2022 20:18

Oh, you’re one of those professional Yorkshire people. I get it now.

Op is pissed.

Fairislefandango · 06/07/2022 20:20

Let's see the north south decide

Confused What does that mean? I think bbeing able to speak English that makes sense is more important than what accent it's in tbh.

Sorry OP I can hardly understand a thing you're typing.

The South West London accent is however, perfectly clear to me.
