Which accent do you absolutely love?

I like all Scottish, Geordie and Irish accents. HATE Scouse, Brummie and Essex accents. Voices are a big turn on or turn off for me. HATE David Beckhams voice. Can't see the attraction at all in him.

I love the accent from the Hebrides. Some of the islands have lovely accents.

Very few people know what a Norfolk accent sounds like and certainly TV and radio dramas set in the county almost always get it wrong. It's quite a difficult accent for actors to copy and most end up sounding like they are from Devon - much to the frustration of those of us who live in Norfolk. The following is a pretty good example

Irish

Not many actors can do a Brummie accent. Peaky Blinders drove me up the wall. Also the blonde lady in Doctors. Her supposed Brummie accent is hilarious.

geordie, my dad was a geordie.

As I was born in West Lancashire (now part of the bigger Merseyside conurbation) I have a fondness for the very quiet Scouse/ Lancs accent I grew up with. I am astonished however when I hear current thick Scouse accents which seem so much harsher , more difficult to understand but somehow celebrated .
My favourites will always be North Welsh and Geordie

Highland Scots accent closely followed by southern Irish. Beautiful (and sooo attractive in a man….!)

Irish accent for me.

Just love the Welsh accent, so soft.

I agree that too many people say "Fink" rather than think etc. Yet I know that is acceptable to many who hate my Brummie accent, despite the fact I can actually say the words.

I love an Irish accent. I have my sat nav set to the Irish voice 'Sean' which I find very soothing. Unfortunately my sat nav doesn't update for traffic etc so I now mostly use my phone on google maps but the voice isn't so friendly.

I’m another fan of the Geordie accent, and I also like a soft Glasgow one (eg Storm Huntley).

I don’t think it applies to a particular accent but the speech habit I most dislike is the grunt at the end of words. It’s not so much a glottal stop as an ‘uh’ sound. It’s used a lot in soaps - ‘You can’t leave me now - I’m pregnun-uh’

It duz me ‘ed in-uh!

Scotland has many many accents, even Glaswegians have different accents within the city, the rougher eastside and the gentler southside. I love the Orcadian accent but the east Ayrshire one makes my teeth itch.

I like most accents. The only one that grates on me is the the very plummy one.

Rural Lancashire and Southern Ireland…

Geordie & variants of Irish or Scottish

The rougher Glasgewian. Is beautiful in a way.

I love the USA deep south accent also a French accent.

The South African and Irish accents do it for me

BigBertha1 Have to agree about all the shouting. I'm convinced half the population has hearing issues matched with no manners. It's not the accent it's what people say that counts for me though an Italian always attracts my attention.

For those who say they like a ,' southern Irish' accent - which one? Accents vary from county to county and even within a county. I live in Fermanagh N.ireland and accent here is very different from eg a Co Antrim accent. There is a middle class N.Irish accent which is not associated with any particular area - a sort of 'standard Ulster'.

Yes, Sloegin you’re quite right!
My favourite accent is Orcadian.

I am a Geordie but I sometimes cringe at Geordies on the TV especially the ones with a very thick guttural version of the Geordie accent!

I loathe the Liverpool accent but adore Glaswegian (I lived there for 10 years). Geordie is impenetrable to my Southern ear, but I like Birmingham and East Anglian accents.

A French accent can be charming as can some American ones, but I think my favourite is a well-modulated German accent - think the two Jurgens Klinsmann and Kopp. Mmm.

For heaven’s sake - can we please not say what accents we ‘loathe’?
It’s so bloody rude
