People seem to be confusing 'Mockney' with Estuary English.

Birmingham accent has to be the worst.

Liverpudlian -without a doubt the worst accent and the most annoying ba5tards to have ever graced the earth.

I've been through many a liverpudlian [all women may I add, before any of the closet benders PM me with love truncheon pics]
So I do speak from experience when I say the majority of them had a flange like a gutted trout, and most have seen more helmets than Hitler.


DJ Vinyl Ritchie...........I'm ashamed to admit I once dated a liverpudlian whose nickname was 'Mariana Trench'

What's your fav/worst english accents.
Worst for me is the West Country, is it me or do they sound like farmers
Close second has to be the Brummie accent.
I like a genuine Cockney accent but the Estuary accent which is manufactured makes me feel ill!

I also like the West Country accent, they do say that a Devon man might speak slowly, but he thinks fast! The Cornish accent is also good-Jethro really makes me laugh too.

Oh one of my pet hates and favourite subjects. Having lived in different places around the UK and travelled, I havew to say the worst going is

Scouse. They can spit on someone else, cant understand a ****ing thing they say and as such should be best avoided or trusted

Brummie and around that area - a close second as they all sound as though they have been slowed down to 33rpm . However even if you sped them up to 45rpm they would still sound thick as **** and the only way is 75rpm as their conversation would be over quicker

West country - all of them sound like farmers and worzel gummidge .enough said

London/Mockneys- I sometimes slip into using the mockney vernacular but try to avoid it as it is neither big nor clever, you think you sound like a cross between dick van dyke and a bad gangster when in fact you just sound like a complete tool. Also any idiots pretending to sound all 'black' and 'hiphop' when quite clearly you are neither and are in fact a trolley stacker from Wood Green

Scottish Chinese - just freak me out, just stop talking its weird


Welsh - well as I have a few welsh friends who populate these boards, I shall refrain from stating what I think, suffice to say they are the exceptions

Only "emmets" who have moved here and the odd nutter.

Wife's family go back 100s of years in Cornwall and not one of them thinks independence is a good idea.

What about a complete nothing accent. Not from Scotland, Ireland, Wales, the WestCountry, London, Leicestr, Birmingham, Stoke, the Fens, just a nothing accent?

Tanyatriangles it has to be said you sound like you are a complete fud.

Being a "sweaty" myself I'd have to say there are some nice Scottish accents, but **** me there are some rough as **** ones as well. Sometimes I absolutely cringe when I hear some of them.

There is nothing worse though than being on Holiday and hearing some whiney little English runt crying for his mummy and daddy.

What is wrong with farmers anyway? You can't have met very many of them to realise that they can be as sharp off the mark as as anyone.

Worzel Gummidge was well up to speed compared with your jokes too!
