The generic "posh" accent in the north is the worst. It is not specific to any county and generally an affectation.

The Donegal and Fermanagh accents too. Sound like real yokels. I worked with a fella from Derrylin and ypu gave up talking to him as it took his sooooo long to say a sentence!

West Tyrone isn't great either or Dunlin or the south west. N. Antrim accent is king  ;D

Girl doing the "business" news on UTV live at 10.30pm during the week is something else when it comes to posh, made up accents.

I should have added north down
Yes that's the one but its influence has spread to all parts. We have people grow up in the Glens and they spend a year at tech or college and come back with this accent  ::)

Agree, lots of Glynnsfolk sound like they were reared in Cultraw. Seems to affect women more so than men.

How to confuse an Australian (no. 2,356)... get an east Derry/n. Antrim accent and converse with a Orkneys accent.  Gold. 8)
To find his equal an Irishman is forced to talk to God!

You're right Tony. I call it the Methody accent......horrible....was listening to some of the "Goys" being interviewed after the schools rugby final on Patricks Day.

At one time it was the glaswegian accent when he shone a torch through the car window and started the questions with any ID?

Now i'd say guttural Dublin is the pits only outdone by the put on D4 accent, and the north down bangoore accent is terrible to hear. Belongs more in Surrey. But no matter where you go the worst feckers on earth are the ones that go for that neutral "not from anywhere" accent in a bid to hide where they come from or get on in business.

It sounds like someone singing the Haka, with Luis Suarez biting one testicle while giving birth to Ian Paisley.
