As long as it's just a lilt then most are pleasant.

I love accents too. I don’t think I have much of an accent until I’m with London friends and then I realise I sound like a country bumpkin.

I dislike the Liverpool Newcastle and Armagh accents but like Irish Scots and Norfolk

[Bobbisox1]

Clover are you West Country?

SharonA; this how you say it - there's been a mud-der!

[Bobbisox1]

Who was the guy who coined that phrase?
Taggart?

Sorry folks, it's not the Scottish accent for me. I always think the Scottish accent makes them sound as though they're drunk. But that's just me. My Glaswegian golfing pal won't like that! Sorry Scotland!

The only accent I really like is Irish. Some of them sound like really hard work.

The amazing thing for me about accents in this country is that they can be so varied for a relatively small nation. Travelling east from Liverpool to Hull, you encounter so many changes. Even between Leeds and Hull, the Yorkshire accent does have it's subtle changes.

Point of order: it's *whey* aye, whey being Geordie dialect for "well". The phrase is pretty much an identical translation of the French "mais oui" or the German "Jawohl".

Just as common is "whey no(, man)" = "of course not(, mate)".

[Bobbisox1]

I prefer the southern Irish to the Northern one ,we have friends who live in Holywood N Ireland ,and we've stayed with them several times,she was manager of M&S in the province and I loved their sense of humour

There's been a mud der!
I think it sounds better my way!

[fender62]

[10ClarionSt]

Nay, nay, nay and twice nay, Sharon! There's no "R" being spoken. Only at the end! You'll be getting away with mud-der if we go with yours! :o)
