The female Irish accent is lovely.

Went out with a Scottish girl many moons ago and basically only understood half of what she said. It got to the point, where I didn't want to keep saying pardon so tried to guess what she was saying. It wasn't just the accent, but the phrases. It was like watching Rab C Nesbitt without subtitles. But I do like a soft scottish accent.

I like the welsh and west country accents. Brummie is an unfortunate freak of nature. But generally all accents when soft are not too bad - well mabe not Brummie.

Stokey is awful - and I have to put up with it every day!

I hate Stoke term of endearment "Duck' (pronounced "Dook") - very annoying.

So do I - as in 'Going up Hanley, duck'.

However, it is said to find its origin in the Saxon word ‘ducas’ which was meant as a term of respect; similar to the Middle English ‘duc’, ‘duk’ which denotes a leader, commander; from which comes the title ‘Duke’ and the Old French word ‘ducheé’ - the territory ruled by a Duke.

The Welsh accent as you go towards Swansea is a lovely accent. Jo Page (AKA Stacey Shipman (Nee West)) from Gavin and Stacey is from Swansea. Well Jo Page is where Stacey is from Barry.
