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?
Please note: prior to hitting the post button, I've double checked for anything that could be construed as "Anti Semitic" and to the best of my knowledge it isn't. Anything deemed to be of a Xenophobic nature is therefore purely accidental or down to your own misconstruing.
Think it depends entirely on the speaker and the subject.
Brummie from a boring person talking about boring things sounds awful. But what accent doesn't.
However, when my mate Ollie (Olloi) talked about his upcoming trip to Paris "There'll be noon of this oi polloi in guy Paroi" it was one of the most best things I've ever heard.
The Oxford English Dictionary has 22 citations for stupidest, a good handful of them from the 19th century, including one from Thomas Carlyles Reminiscences. So stupidest is by all measures a word and one with a history innit!

“Ahh you’re just northern aren’t ya”.
Ah, there's always that ignorance man.
I've been approached in Bury St Edmunds by [actual] Northern types (squaddies) and been called a Cockney.
A flippin' cockney, in Bury St Edmunds.
Equally I have family in Derbyshire; as it goes my mum is just over the Staffs border; so I know how that works too.
The people in the local pub call me a Southerner - I'm not.
I don’t have any particular opinion on worst accent - I actually quite like them all, and enjoy hearing the differences as I travel to different places in the country.
The problem isn’t accents, it’s the ongoing mutation and affectation as people develop persona’s in order to become a Geezer, Bruvver or a Scally etc.
My Aunt has lived in Brentwood since the 60’s and sounds nothing at all like the dimwits from TOWIE. On my rare trips back to Ipswich I notice more and more geezers too. It’s a shame.
Has anyone been watching King Gary? ‘Muvver Naytcha I salute ya. Airtstaandin!’
