Women & accents

[timwilky]

Personally I like my burds to have a posh accent to disguise their filthy intent. Just my luck to have one with a Salford accent and no intent.


However, it is the sound of the West Yorkshire lass that gets me trembling. I just know that she will cost me a fortune, leave me a penniless wreck and regretting everything.

Hmmm

Although Im half greek, I dont have an accent because Ive lived in the UK all my life.

No particular accent does it for me I just like really clear voices

Although I am actually Scottish I have the famous RAF nothing accent where you don't sound like you come from anywhere.
Although because of this I subconciously imitate accents when I am with people with accents. I've worked with a guy from Yorkshire for the last 2 weeks and met his son towards the end of the two weeks. He asked me where I used to live in yorkshire, convinced that although I didn't have a full blown accent there were hints in it that he thought I used to live there when I was younger.

Scouse, Southern, Irish, French and Spanish do it for me. Dont like the ruff woteva open jawed northen accents the local filth posses.
You aint alone pt6 the accents a deal breaker for me too.

Mr Spiers - my eldest daughter is like you. we lived in gosport til she was 6 and she had a strong pompey accent (vile) then moved to west coast of scotland, with a month she had come 1st in a Burns Speaking Competition. then went to visit her cousin and came back week later with a belfast accent. now been living in aldershot for a year and she has a strange accent. Im scottish but dont think I sound scottish until I hear myself on answerphone or video - sounds horrific

You're lucky, people keep asking me if I'm a cockerney geezah - I have to explain that I'm actually a posh Bedfordian.

I sound horrific when I hear myself on video, but that's cos I don't like the sound of my voice rather than my accent.

You've both got lovely scottish accents.

I think most of the scottish accents are quite appealing, with the possible exception of broad Glaswegian.

I think I speak fairly neutral south east english, which is great for being understood but about as attractive as Milton Keynes.
