Au contraire, I much prefer the western side of the Pennines - though not necessarily Scouse. _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

Northern women really do it for me. And I love Scottish, Welsh and Irish accents on women as well - the Munster accents in particular are wonderful. Can't stand south-eastern shandy accents though Or Ulster. ::shudder:: _________________Jim

-1 Ross Noble +1 Our next door neighbour comes from Tyneside. She's lived in Chatham for over thirty years, but she's still got a broad accent.

I do find some of the stronger accents difficult to understand until I get tuned in over a period of days sometimes.
Some of the Irish accents, Geordie, Liverpool and Glaswegian I struggle to understand.

This is very true. My grandad, long since passed on, had the tickest Oirish accent you could have. I honestly don't believe I understood more than one in five of the words that would tumble from his mouth in that wonderful musical way. Two years ago I had the fortune to spend a few days in Glasgow at an exhibition, and it does take a couple of days to tune into the speech. They must chuckle at us soft suvverners nodding blankly as they speak to us.  _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.
