[Clanger]

So what do you guys think that the worst and/or most annoying accent in the UK is...?

I love people's accents, as I think they are really interesting

None of this dull 'Queen's English,' regional accents FTW

The 'Mockney' Essex accent (not the real Essex accent that has been long lost due to generations of city ponses moving into the county). It's like they over do it on a bloody tangent. East London wannabes. Cringe worthy...

My old flatmate used to date a frumpy ginger bird from Brummie.

With that combo, I wanted to explode.

The brum accent is the finest in all the land and made better by the multicultural nature of my wonderful city.

My Brother in law is a Geordie and i've known him for 20 years and can only understand half what he's saying

[Stelmer]

The worst English accent is not from the UK.


I vote for that ''off'' cockney one that American actors do when playing an English person.

[Endless Nameless]

Whatever accent it is that that silly cow Lilly Allen sings in, makes me want to batter something with a frying pan.

Really like the Geordie accent, like the Yorkshire one too and I can cope with Brummie. I'm from the West Country and sound like it too, so I suppose I have to like that one.

The worst accent I can think of isn't on the list and thats the barnsley accent. I may be biased living on the south yorkshire border but whenever I hear that broad half arsed drone it's like nails down a blackboard

Accents from certain parts of Birmingham make people sound mentally retarded...

Leeds accent is by far the worst in the uk.

I had to go for Scouse. So abrasive. Went out in Liverpool many times when My frien was at Uni there. God the girls were amazing - they really do make the effort. Then they opened their mouths...

Other friend had a loud scouse girlfriend for a while. It didn't last.

My favourite accent is the Brum accent, love it, even more than my own North Eastern roots.

[Raffles]

Glaswegian is, in my opinion, the worst accent in the UK. It is certainly the most difficult to understand.
I don't just say that because I am a sassenach. I recently had a guest in my house that lives in Paisley, an area on the outskirts of Glasgow and he couldn't understand the buggers either.

None of you have ever heard a typical benefit scum Aberdonian, the accent is fucking disgusting. Which is surprising as encompassing the outskirts of Aberdeen the accents are quite nice, if a little hard to understand (and I've lived here my whole life).

I hate the Paisley accent/dialect.. just that wee bit different from 'normal' Glaswegian - I hate it with a passion, so annoying.

[stinkwheel]

The varient I personally think of as "Loud Glaswegian" has a particularly annoying quality. Any dialect that considers "Oi, you pal." shouted at the top of their lungs as a good way to greet a stranger is onto a looser in my book.

brummie most definitly

i am from clevedon (10miles from bristol centre), i do have to admit that full on bristol birds sound horrendous (vicky pollard isnt an exageration), but no where near the pain of trying to understand brum
