Do you love or hate the English accent?

Samich

Neither.

tonycascarino

Like it on a woman

charlemont

Its a sexy accent on women.

Leo Dowling

I like most of the Northern ones and the South West ones but tend to dislike South East and North East.

Depends on which accent, some are nice some are annoying.

JohnMearsheimer

I like a girl with an English accent. Doesn't do much harm in my book, unless it's a Liverpool one.

It depends

There are many different type of British accent; Cornish, Brummie, Lancashire, East Midlands, London and the home counties.

Personally I find the latter accent (Kent, home counties) reasonably attractive in women because it sounds delicate and effeminate; not so much any of the former.

Oh God, I love guys with English accents. All but the Liverpool one, that's unbearable.

I have a London accent and I find that the women I have met in Louth love it. One woman used to phone me up all the time just for a chat as she loved the sound of my voice. Its a shame I didn't fancy her though as she had a lovely accent too.

what you should have done is setup a premium rate number and then have her call you on it

Richard Hillman

Yes i like them especially the posh ones.

The scouse accent is vile.

Its funny you should say that, as she usually called me when she was in the bath or in bed.

Just like the Mancunian. Was that why you tried to take out half the cast of Corrie?

It's Gail's weak chin and incessant rambling that would make me want to knock her over the head with a shovel.

Kojak

The Maggie Thatcher accent - brilliant.......

MugMugs

Liverpool womens accent.

It just screams "RIDE ME"

Kirstie Allsop's accent, now there's a property developer I wouldn't mind seeing on her knees.

I can actually put up with those! I've relations around those parts so I'm a bit used to them.

Frankie Lee

I'd like most English accents except for the "upper class" or newsreader type accents. Welsh or Scottish accents are nicer though.

Oi! I like both of those.



I was on the phone to a girl from Laaaandan the other night (drunk) and she said 'Tom, are you putting on a voice?' I said 'No...?'. She said 'you just sound really really brummy on the phone, it's hilarious'.

Why do people feel the need to copy people with a Brummy/Scouse/Geordie/wherever accent?!

Well this post is clearly a lie

A Louth girl with a lovely accent???
Are you familiar with the Louth accent? The very worst parts of Nordie and Dub combined

I like most of them bar the 'Landan innit blad' one. The posh one on a woman is ridonkulously sexy.

The Louth accent isn't a combination of Nordie and Dublin, it doesn't have a single element that is remotely similar to Dublin.

Au contraire,most English accents (especially Midlands and the West Country) are repellent but I am partial to some Home Counties patios ala Kirsty Allsopp.Sometimes I imagine her all dominatrix-esque..hmmmm..but I digress it is too early for such shenanigans

People in soccer, soaps, news, comedy and 'Europhobia' all have the same respective accents now?

Are you sure you're not confusing accents with people you don't like?

Can't stand the English accent of anybody connected with soccer, soaps, tabloidesque news (Sky, ITN etc), pikey comedians or Europhobia. Soccer-related accents especially - they're blaring through tv at me everywhere a tv is on in pubs etc. The inanity and blandness of it all is incessant.

The English accent of educated non-tabloidesque people like Jon Snow is grand.

/end generalisation.

On the other hand, once I get to know an accent and all its differences in a region, I invariably get hugely entertained by it. And yes, I do take the piss out of everybody's accent! Generally I prefer softer, calmer voices regardless of what accent the person has as long as they enunciate clearly.

You do realize they all come from different places in a country of over 50 million people don't you?

That was the implicit general point (and I did say '/end generalisation'), but it isn't people I don't like as I don't know them - it is what they represent, be it overhyped saturation tv soccer coverage, populist flag-waving politicians or popular soaps and their endless bullshít dramas. None of them offer enlightenment and all wallow in populist emotion where people at the top get wealthy/powerful under the guise of "sport", defending the "national interest" or the like.

It's just one massive tabloid culture.

pablomakaveli

I love the English accent on a woman. The only accent from England i cant stand is the Liverpool. Sounds like absolute muck.

I'm also moving to England next month so i'll be in heaven.:D

Never realised that, stovelid. I was sure they came from the same lane in Essex. Thanks for the enlightenment. I'd be lost without you.

PS: You do realise the meaning of the word 'generalisation', as in 'end generalisation'?

This has nothing to do with accents. Absolutely nothing.
