Re: What do accents say to you
I wonder if any other country similar in size to the UK, has so many different accents within. Even where I live, I can take a 5 minute drive to Bonnybridge and the accent is totally different, ken?

Re: What do accents say to you
Id better stay out of this thread
Being removed from all of the local dialects or only hearing them once in a blue moon over the last 24 years you tend to forget what they sound like.
I was at a baseball game a couple of weeks ago and there was a female Londoner sat behind me and next to her OH. After about an hour I seriously considered leaving after listening to that accent
I mean when talking to a female who is really good looking even a scouse or geordie accent can sound sexy.
There again I dont base all my interactions on accents because if I did a lot of people would be refused entry into Canada

Re: What do accents say to you
I hate strong Glasgow accents.
For example...
Me - "You are not old enough to be drinking tonic wine"
Ned - "aye am urr"... "geez a fag or al bust ye"
Me - "Is that your dog fouling the grass?"
We Jimmy - "HEY ANNE-MARIE!, YUR DUGS DONE A BIG SHITE OAN THE GRESS! HAW HAW HAW! YA BEAUTY!"
Me - "Are you going to clean up that bottle I just saw you smash?"
4 year old - "wizznay me ya prick!"
....... better go check my ECAS eh
