"Brummie" accent is the ugliest accent in the UK

But we wouldn't know any difference so be just not a problem.

 

Sadly we're losing a lot of our regional accents with many being diluted through each generation. I love the colourful accents we have and the brummie is one of my favourites as it sounds friendly. My southern accent seems dull in comparison.

 

It's strange listening to a recording of your own voice.

 

I'm surrounded by them here in the nec, although i have so far seen 3 people from my village lol

 

any baggy trousers

 

I cannot judge your level of offence -so I cannot answer your question - But because you were offended - does that mean it is OK to offend someone else!

 

will be soon, support just finished madness due on 8.50

 

they are quite ugly thou

 

My question (Do you think you're more offended than me?) was kind of tongue in cheek. I'm a Brummie, and the post is about a survey which puts my accent at the bottom of the list of ugly accents. And I actually said that I wasn't offended. Although I have good reason to be. I suppose It just shows that some people are easier to offend than others. I'm not really that bothered what anyone thinks of my accent

 

i like brummie accents , well all accents really it sorts out the ugly ones

 

the map Shows the city accents are 'ugliest' and everywhere else has 'nice' accents.
I defo prefer South Liverpool accents to North Liverpool any day, lar

 

Neither am I really bothered nor am I really offended - nor am I a true scouser but many in my family are. - but I do like a good argument - especially when I have the moral high ground

 

How's that then?

 

If the most beautiful women you ever saw had a brummy accent, would She have to work harder to get you into bed?

 

I don't have an accent. It's you lot.

 

I'm the same, mine is a mixture of Scottish (Edinburgh & Western Isles), Aussie & American (New England). It also changes according to who I'm speaking to (according to Ms.T).

...because I get a good view from up here!

 

i'm gobsmacked nobody has tagged me in this post and claimed i am one, proper brummie accent isn't my favourite but it's surely not the worst? i'm not a fan of Northern accents myself like scouse or geordie - more on women than men though, sorry if that offends any of the ladies but it just does annoy me, cheryl cole or suchlike - fine until they open their gob.

 

I quite like the Geordie accent.
About 20 years ago i spent some time working at the Electrolux factory in Spennymore, County Durham. The guys there had a brilliant sense of humour, and their accents accentuate it.
