Re: Regional Accents.

I love the west of Ireland accents, particularly south west. (or wesht as they say) I also rather like the lilt of the Welsh and the Geordie.

I don't particularly like Brummie as they can sound a bit dim and slow but I do like Jasper Carrot which is a bit of a contradiction.

When I used to go over to Ireland a lot they used to tell me I didn't sound very English but I do find that when I'm talking to Irish people seem to slip further away from Lancashire and further towards Irish. It can be quite funny at times. I remember a friend of the family in Ireland saying I was the most Irish sounding English born Irish woman he'd ever known!
