I have a friend from Wales, it's not just the beautuful sing song accent, it's her soft voice added to it. If I am in any kind of bad mood, she can instantly soothe me. She could talk any nonsense she liked and I'd just be feeling my muscles relax lol

I love a Cockney accent now. I didn't until I moved up north, and now I miss it. I also love a Scottish accent. And a Spanish one.

Ironically, although I don't speak Mandarin, when I lived in China I could hear the difference in accents between Shanghai and Beijing, despite not understanding what they were saying!

An Irish lilt or a very soft Scouse accent.

Hearing Steven Gerrard on the TV tonight (build up to the England game, which OH is currently watching.)

I just love a Scouse accent. Being Inner London born and bred, I have a typical Cockney accent (I was born in the City of London district within the sound of Bow Bells) but I think that is a boring sound. The Scouse accent just seems to sing!

What accent, apart from your own, appeals to you most?
