Worst UK accent. 08:28 - Feb 7 with 23636 viewsartsbossbeard

I was always utterly convinced that it was Brum until this new lad from Stoke started working in my team.

There's another chap in my team called Richard that he somehow pronounces "wretched", which makes me a lot angrier than it really should.

Is Stoke the UK winner?

Samuel Johnson, the great 18th century pioneer of dictionaries, described the Lichfield accent as the purest form of the English language. He did come from there, mind.

Not sure I dislike any accent, but Glaswegian can be virtually incomprehensible. Especially over the phone and even more so if your hearing is not that good.

Think it depends on who it's on. My wife is Irish and I like her accent, but her brothers grates on me. Can't stand the Welsh accent either, especially the really strong Valley's types.

I suppose it's not really an "accent" as such but that garbled Grime-inspired patois spoken by it seems everyone under the age of 25 in England is awful, especially when it's Josh or Sally from rural Cornwall sounding like they are part of the Peel Dem Crew.

Bristol accent is very stupid sounding.


I have to disagree. Dr Alice Roberts has a lovely, soft Bristolian accent and both sounds, and is, smart as fvck.

They would all have sounded a bit odd back then, as the sounds of vowels in English were still evolving from the early Medieval to the modern form.

I will put my hand up for the thick brummy accent.

Awful.

I love a soft welsh and soft irish accent of a hot chick..... although I've never met the latter from Wales. NI I have but never managed too........

Very little. Certainly not enough to rate one as the best and the other the worst of all UK accents.

'country' accents, west or east are great in my book - its the cities you've got to worry about!

A broad Suffolk accent is one of the most stupidest accents out there, and before I get slated I am from Suffolk.
