Besides it's the beautiful Norn Iron accent....I particularly love the Belast Housing Estate variant, so full of love and joy, it brightened many a post-masacre news broadcast.
Fuck me...there is no a good accent in the UK, sometimes i can't understand you a single word.

It's MSN News I think. Certainly linked to it when I logged into Messenger.
Worry not, you're missing nothing.

That is almost alien. I've never heard anyone say "Mackem" without it being swiftly followed by "twat" before.. I loved it when Peter Reid managed those whiney cunts,on the football phone-in up our way,me like...And Mick MaCarthey for that matter..
I like Niall Quinn though,I feel it'll all end in tears for him..He's no Steve Gibson yet,but who is?? But he's blatantly a steady fella..shame really.
what accent is the most "white trashy"? which is the most incomprehensible?
I find it bizarre how accents survive in this day of international culture and pop culture diversity. It seems to be more demographic than regional where I live. You can hear 5 different white people, all from the same area, but tell a lot about them, they can be so different

True... but you still have Ozzy Osbourne as an example.
Has to be BBC/RP. Good for international image. You know the country is having problems when Indians are complaining about our diction. Valley Welsh is nice however.
Welsh is pretty steady,on my ears..you're right. I booze with a lad called Welsh Eddie,and we all love him.
I'm into accents,they are fascinating...
Some are Wolverhampton painful,but that's part of the package..
Get a Brummie to say 'genuine porcelain figurine' haha! proper funny...![]()

Working at a Midlands-based site (Telford), that site provides hours of fun! :p

this reminds me of that advert (lecky?) where the dad comes home shouting "it's like blackpool illuminations in here!" one from my childhood that makes me grin...
i'm partial to a welsh accent. or a yorkshire one. or lancashire. or scottish. any regional northern. depends who's doing the talking though, doesn't it?
