Well if we were all the same, life would be boring, eh?

All regional accents are lovely in their own ways.

Couldn't agree with you more. I think it sounds terrible. Don't know if it is supposed to be an Aberdonian accent mixed in with Glaswegian.
Either Glasdonian or Aberwegian.
Worst accent I have ever heard. Even worse than my families Hull accent.

upper class aristocratic plum in the gob pseudo-toffs: like Brian Sewell.If it's a man, I agree. If it's a woman and she has a soft voice, I love it. How do Joanna Lumley or Felicity Kendal grab you?

I dislike Falkirk and Stirling accents -- apologies to anyone from either place.

I don't like the Peterhead accent or around that area of Aberdeenshire. Apologies to the people of that area.

I Belong The Falkirk Area Before Moving To Caithness. I Have Heard A Lot Worse Accents Than The Bairns (falkirk) Accent Very Friendly Lot.I've changed my mind. Before I posted, I simply went through the accents of various people I know, and the worst ones were from Falkirk and Stirling. But then I thought of some other people I know from both places, and they have nice accents, so I withdraw my previous statement. Apologies for offending anyone.
