What's the silliest/best British regional accent?

[zai_alam]

I think the main contenders are:

Cockney (London)

Scouse (Liverpool)

Geordie (Newcastle)

Brummie (Birmingham)

Well I personally believe the 'west country' Cornish accent is the silliest and best accent in the UK.
Anyone who doesnt know what I'm on about (especially the Yanks) are advised to listen to some classic tunes by a band called the Wurzels... the songs Combine Harvester, I Am A Cider Drinker and I Got My Beady Little Eye On Thee are particularly good :yes:

I love it when northeners say 'any road up' instead of 'anyway' :)

Irish is the finest accent. the Brummie accent is the least appealing.

Although my favourite is the London accent with a twist of Nigerian. Werd up.

I used to work with someone who was from cornwall, and she always tried not to speak in her natural cornish accent because we always made fun of her. Thats why I like the Wurzuls so much.

who's gareth? :neutral: i keed i keed, i thought he js put that accent on for the show because iv heard him speak and he speaks "normally".

a teacher at my old school is from scotland and she disguises her accent, we always wondered why her voice was a bit offkey, for example the words would come out wrong ie ppl say owwar for hour but she would say you have one arrr for this assessment, and so forth..

one of my favourite moments is when they have the party for the swindon lot and tim glues gareth's phone receiver to the actual phone and gareth knows that its tim ringing him and he goes to pick it up, and even rips the receiver off the phone and STILL sez hello..classic
