Accents you love, accents you hate, accents that make you laugh

[Eamonnca1]

Love the sound of:

Cork (the one where people sound like they're singing and end most sentences in 'boy')
Fermanagh
Geordie
Scouse
Cumbrian
Welsh
BBC English (not the stuffy one from the 60s, the modern type)
That neutral accent spoken by continental people from the likes of Scandinavia, Benelux etc.
Canadian
Australian
New Zealand
But my favourite one of all is South African. Could listen to it all day.

Grinds my gears:

People who speak with my own accent when played back on TV
Boston (sounds very abrasive)
Southern USA (reminds me too much of people like George W Bush, Rick Perry and other half-educated idiots.  Bill Clinton's accent was a lot milder and I can listen to that)
Cockney

Makes me laugh:

Birmingham
West country / Devon & Cornwall
Scouse
California valley girls, were everything is like, a question?

dislike
