GREAT BRITISH ACCENTS -best in the world

yorkshire i think .......have you never watched last of the summer wine man :rockon:

 

their again it might of been the goodies ........ah fuck it am stoned :tongue:

 

I suppose my accent is nicely-spoken Londoner. 'Standard English'. Yes.

I just love Scottish accents, Geordie and Southern Irish, but I'm not keen on Scouse (apologies to all Scouse members!).

 

haha that video was awesome! i must say i had to play some parts twice to understand everything tho.. but this was entertaining =)

 

hahaha, that was funny
i'd say i'm 'standard english' too.

 

yont-supm-a-ite?Translation=You want something to eat?=guy I knew from Tennesee.You guys have some trouble understanding accents from your own country?

 

My accent is a bit of strange one in a way, I live in a town right in the middle of Newcastle and Sunderland. So there's a bit of Geordie and a bit of Mackam. But then again, something all of it's own...Sometimes when I'm singing it comes out plain Scottish. I like it anyway. So that's alright.

It's weird how accents can change so easily though. I was talking about this t'other day with oaffie who used to post on the forums.

I live with a couple, one of which, Joss, is Canadian. She and her partner Chris have been living together a good three/four years now and Chris' accent is an English/Canadian blend. Oaffie worries as since she's been back in America, some of their twangs have crept into her voicebox.

Don't know why I bring all this up really.
But you have to admit, it's weird!

 

To be fair, some of them are barely English; you just don't have the rich and confusing depth of accent that UK English has....

 

Well,lots of accents here are just poorly spoken English.Same there or just depth of accent?

 

Its not that they are poorly spoken English but some of these accents/languages still have a lot of roots in Anglo Saxon, especially regions 'narf of Watfad, mate!'
