there's a program running on one of the sky channels at the moment, about Essex and the accent, haven't watched it, just seen it advertised, but it started me thinking about accents in general. I never thought I had an accent until one day whilst working in a club in Coventry in the early 70s, I was talking to my mate and one of the locals said tha comes from lanky dont tha, ya Accrington says I, um I come from Ossy, lived on Busk Meadow Street. Talking to the chap for a while it seems he sat next to my mother at St Mary's school.

Accents, well having worked all over this country I've come across the lot, but there are two accents that really grate with me Brummy, but worst of all Scouse, Jenifer Ellison is a cracking looking girl, until she opens her gob, what a real turn off.

So whats your likes and dislikes accent wise and whats your take on accents?
