To ask if you like the Cockney accent?

[StaceySt]

I've known my partner since our teenage years but we've only got together as a couple since 2021. I had a crush on him when we were teenagers but he then dated someone else in the group. As I got to know him I grew up love his decent, straightforward personality and I realised his accent was very 'Blimey, Guv'nor!' - but I loved it! In the intervening years his accent hasn't been modified at all - my accent is closer to the generic South East England accent FWIW.

Like micky flannagan?

"Old stool fack all...." I love his accent

Nope. I find it a huge turn off.

No.

A bit - think 'wivvya' not 'with you'

Yes I do

Fair enough - I can see it would definitely divide opinion

Leave it aht, gavnah!

Not for me 🤮

Yes that's his pronunciation to a tee

Yep. Gorgeous accent. Its my second favourite English accent. Liverpool is No.1 😁

I like Liverpool as well

My abuser had a strong Essex accent. Despite intensive c-ptsd trauma therapy, I can't like the accent one bit. I wasn't mad keen on it before meeting him, but I'd rather listen to nails on a chalk board now. Literally not my fault.

Sorry to hear this.
I know how 'triggering' abuse can be - I'm still being triggered by things from abusive situations from years ago

My fave accent is Geordie, prefer that to a cockney any day

I think I love all accents. I find them fascinating!

I love the Geordie one !

I like it but it is not sexy at all to me.

They certainly are - except when I hear a recording of my own voice

I live in midlands. I'm from north. Next door very loud neighbours are from Essex. I cannot bear it.

I quite liked it in Gavin and Stacey but booming through the wall is not fun.

Cockney.. can't say I've met many in the wild 😉 I imagine I would find it jarring. Oddly, I don't like scouse accent either. Good job we are all different isn't it!

I grew up with this accent, lost it by moving around the country and living overseas, now it grates with me.

I find accents generally fascinating and love South London and East London accents particularly

I know he’s an Essex boy but it’s in the same ballpark - anyone who’s seen the second series of White Lotus, Jack’s accent could pretty much remove my clothes through the screen 😬

Our fab school caretaker is an ex-pat Cockney. His accent is luvvly, guvna!

Nope
I love a scouse accent though

No I don't like it.
