Which accents do you really dislike? I don't like the South Yorkshire accent. Even worse though is a strong London accent. I just can't listen to it. Most of the vowels are mispronounced and overall it sounds very lazy, like they can barely be bothered to speak. If such an accent crops up on tv/ radio I either switch off, turn over, or turn the volume right down. Emma Hayes, football commentator, is a good example.Β Which accents grate with you? The two women on the Verisure advert. Phil π

Some people hate the scouse accent. I quite like it personally. That is, unless they start moaning or playing the victim. Which is quite often. Q. What's the difference between a cow and a tragedy? A. A Scouser wouldn't know how to milk a cow.

that strange and contrived accent affected by Dr Alice Roberts.
such a shame because otherwise she comes across as highly intelligent, well informed and (I have to admit) very desirable ................... but the moment she begins to talk i could curl up and hide.

I think we can sum this up: Anyone who destroys our great language by speaking a non existent 'r' after an a (but not all a's) is a twat. Also 'i' is pronounced exactly that, 'i'. It is not pronounced 'uy'. I ride a motor bike, not a mawtor buyke.
God knows how foreigners cope, English is difficult enough as it is.

Plus ca change !
We should embrace life's rich tapestry.
I can't think of a local accent I don't like, and enjoy hearing the accents change as I travel about.
