    Can't stand the bloke's accent who does the Big Brother commentary, although Geordie doesn't usually irritate me at all, I guess his must be more exaggerated.

    The scouse accent sounds like loads of radio interference.

    I don't find any accent annoying,I do have a soft spot for the Welsh accent though.

    It sounds like a lot of waffle to me.

    Gentle Scottish very pleasant, angry Scottish when I'm in trouble not quite so nice.

    Love a Georgia, Lancashire and Glaswegian accent. South Wales is OK if it's a soft accent - too thick and they just sound like they're taking the piss all the time.

    Despise scouse (living up here, the worst are the scum clearance estate towns like Skelmersdale and Warrington)

    Foreign accent wise, I live a Sicilian and Neapolitan accent up hate Northern Italian, and love Southern Spanish but hate Madrileno. Canarian Spanish is just fucking weird.

    A woman with a husky Irish accent is the hottest thing on the planet

    A few years ago the firm I was working for brought over some young ladies from the Dublin office on secondment for a few months.

    A couple of them were from Cork but if you asked them where they came from their accent made it sound like they were from "Cock"!

    Technically correct, I suppose ...

    The Tasmoli dialect from the Shamboli province of Bengalise in the Upper Congo, really grates my cheese!

    (made that up before anyone Googles...)

    Any accent with a lilting or musical quality is always pleasing.
    Years ago I gave away several hours of detailed specialist VAT advice and my own time just because the soft Bristol burr of the voice on the other end of the phone enchanted me so. There wasn't even a remote possibility of meeting the person, the attraction remained strictly aural. I probably kidded myself she was equally charmed by my winning combination of bluff sarf-east london directness and erudite humour. The truth is she gleefully took what she needed while it was all fresh, exciting and new but the calls dried up soon enough. She only wanted me for my mind.

    I learnt to embrace diversity by watching Auf Wiedersehen Pet.

    They have a bit of a country accent down here (those that are born and bred down here), I'm always accused of being a DFL (down from London, even though I'm from NW Kent).....back to the OP....Scouse apart from that don't really mind any other regional accents.

    I like Viennese...very sing-song.

    Chinese accent worries me.

    Even during a cordial conversation they sound like they're about to knock seven bells out of each other.

    *no disrespect intended*

    Don't like fake porn accents.

    'Aah yes' uttered by an English lady should not be done so in an American accent.

    Dick van Dyke's cockney accent was terrific. Scotty on Star Trek too. Rambling Syd Rumpole's West Country accent, yep.

    Seems like it's time for the traditional annual posting of this absolute gem.

    Love a Geordie accent.
    Hate a strong Scouse accent.

    I love the whole science of accents/dialects/idiolects - least fave is what is not considered an accent at all - posh c***s like David Cameron who speak so called Received Pronunciation- it inspires a curious violence within me

    My daughters Kent accent is gradually transitioning into a Lancashire one. One of the side effects of moving up north. By the time she is a teenager I won't be able to understand a word she says.

    Has Radio 4 banned all regional accents? Seems like it.

    Thus saying I dislike your Landon accents & London people in general, when OUR Country has got into the mess it has due to the amount of non English people over here, its really a breath of fresh air in the smoke. I'll tolerate it as its English, don't like it, but at least most who sound it are English.

    WTF are you talking about?

    I hate with a passion the Geordie accent on display here - Ray Hudson is an utter, utter cock - the most ridiculous accent ever & a total Sid Waddell rip off. Cancelled my subscription to the TV channel he blights...

    Yanks love him though.
