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.
My English bro-in-law trying to do an Irish accent....thats the worst! ;)

The South African accent and my Scottish one (I dont try any more) ...... Trish.
Very broad aberdonian, Orcadian and the liverpool accent can be kina annoying no offence to anybody on hrere
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 can stand any accent in the world except Brummy!

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 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.
:lol: THERE WAS NO OFFENCE TAKEN EVERYBODY IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OPINION:grin: :)
I would like to add Welsh, English West Country and Norfolk.
i love the welsh but cant stand dudley think thats how you spell it..:D
