I just posted in another thread about missing local accents on the radio and it made me think about best and worst in my opinion anyway.
I used to love the Geordie accent but now am sick to death of it!
Best........broad Lancashire.
Worst......South African, quickly followed by EastEnders type.
What's yours?

If you can understand what they are saying then it is OK. Northern Ireland accents can be bad if too strong.
Remember "Hondootedly polycell Mossis Thotcher".

Whiston, prescot (new generation) and Kirkby. Rest of the mickey accent is fine.
Brum to an extent, but I love the city so will cut some slack.
On a girl, love the north/south irish accent. Same applies for Geordie, Welsh and any eastern European.

New Town Runcornian, especially the Disgruntlese accent.  And John Hannah's "jock " accent in the Co-op ads. Oh and Yank's . It's our language so stop galaxying about with it. KEN |

Worst - Scouse accent. Especially when it's put on by toytown gangster nobodies.
Don't mind - Used to hate the Brum/Black Country but don't mind it now. West country can also get on your nerves. Had to put up with it for 20 years when I lived down there.
Best - No contest. A proper, broad Widnes accent which is unique.

Did you know that PC keyboards in France are not 'qwerty' like ours and are arranged totally differently. Indeed, where we normally have the top row of numbers, the French keyboard needs you to press shift to get numbers as the lower case of those keys are all their letters with 'accents'. Got there eventually! |

My lad used to go out with a girl from Leeds and she always called Wakefield 'Waker', thinking she knew better than me I started to call them Waker too. It's only years later I realised that was her accent and she was calling them 'Wakey' just like the rest of us. The keckle is never off Ken, but I could do with some decent tea bags, not this gnats pee they are serving us.  |
