What's the UK's worst accent? #accent #uk #british #debate - YouTube

It's traditional to crap on the brummies, but I've come round to the melodic innocence of a good brummie accent.

The actual worst is the unremarkable and boring middle class thames estuary accent, esp out the mouths of strivers in London who think they're something special.

Whatever the tradition choices are (e.g. Birmingham, Hull, etc), I'd happily watch a TV show that was set there. But I had to stop watching a show called 'Criminal Record' because of the god-awful accent Cush Jumbo is doing in that. So my vote is for whatever that grating 'Lahndun' accent is.

Chav. From anywhere

I’m not sure whether having no hope understanding what people are saying makes an accent bad. Anyway, good luck with your next conversation with a Geordie or Mackem shipyard worker.

Brummie, hands down.

Dudley.

I'd call it "cockney", but I'm sure someone will correct me that it isn't actually cockney - but anyway, I refer to that squawking and grunting sound you get from the "Eastenders" TV programme. Incredibly difficult to understand, and just sounds so unpleasant to me.

I'm sure they'd feel the same if they heard me speak.

I used to think Liverpudlian, but now I’d vote for Multicultural London English.
