Which accent do you absolutely love?

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.

As long as ‘Sean’ doesn’t respond like this:

“Can you tell me the way to Cork from here?

Ah, sure if I was you, I wouldn’t bother going. You are miles away.”

I heard my DH on the phone before I met him and fell for his gentle Edinburgh voice. I grew up in NZ and moved to sarf lunnon but prefer the various Scots accents
I like to hear good pronunciation though - not slovenly talk
I like to listen to regional radio stations whilst decorating. Painting a wall and listening to radio Orkney. Bliss 💗

Sorry Fanny - you're absolutely right, it is rude and I apologise wholeheartedly.

I’m from Liverpool and find a raucous Liverpool accent horrendous myself.
There’s no need to apologise and I don’t think the thread should be policed by a gransnetter who decides what we should or should not be saying.

I would love Sean to say “ “It’s a long way to Tipperary “ 😉

Hollysteers pointing out that something can be upsetting is not ‘policing’, is it?

Thanks Gulligranny,
as someone who has spent their life being told that their accent is awful I am perhaps a bit sensitive (but not a member of the GN Constabulary)
