So whats your likes and dislikes accent wise and whats your take on accents?
Can't stand scouse and used to dislike so called Brummie till we lived in the midlands and discovered all the different shades, just like in Lancs or anywhere really. Probably warmed to the accent as the people were so lovely.

Really really hate southern accent - Kent/ Sussex/ London.

Like West country - have to say that as my partner is from Somerset. Also northeast and Scots especially some of the islands such as Orkney where there is often a Scandinavian overtone. My partner's boss is a good example.
