Geordie and French for me.
Least favourite accent Liverpool. Sorry any Liverpudlian Grans.

Geordie and also Lancashire,both make me feel safe and both friendly.
I think I've read somewhere that Geordie and Scottish accents are preferred by call centre because they are thought to be trustworthy.

I feel at home with Cockney because I was born in London but I love all regional accents. It would be very boring if we all used Received Pronunciation like the BBC used to do years ago. I'm glad that many different accents are heard on radio and TV now.

Irish,north or south love them all ,Italian would be my second choice

Geordie, even though I don't always understand it!

I think Italian is much more sexy than French grin
