annoying british accents
 
there's a girl at work who's got the most annoying british accent i've heard so far.
she can't pronounced 'eee' it always comes out like 'ay'
like 'isn't that lovelay' or 'how have you bayn'

i don't know why but this irritates me.
but other than that she's really nice and funny so it's ok.

i finally asked her where she's from and she said from near manchester

are there worse accents out there?

Scottish accents are cool. I don't like those you accents either, they're evil. Apparently I have a nice accent

My girlfriend does this - I can tell who she's been speaking to last depending on her accent and how she phrases everything. Sad, but true.

Sound like Brummie or even yam yam.

I like the Yorkshire accent on women (not sure what part exactly) e.g Melanie Sykes in the old Boddingtons adverts "would you like a flake in that?" :up:

The fact the line is 'cream of Manchester' should give you a clue neither Boddington's or Mel Sykes are from the wrong side of the Pennines :).

I have a feeling you may be correct. I still would though. :o

The Welsh accent.

I defy anyone to find any other accent more annoying.

Tomkat 1 Nov 2005 14:02

Some welsh accents can sound quite sexy actually.

A strong birmingham accent is so depressing though. In my mind it just sounds like they're saying "Ohhhh **** I wiiiiish I was deaaaad" whenever they talk.

EIRE accents are sexy as hell.

After a while they get annoying, especially if they are very high pitched and very very very fast!

my least favourite accent is probably "south london chav", if i hear a girl speak like that, however good looking they are, i immediately lose interest.

thats probably just because I was brought up to look down on people who spoke like that though :)

Youve obviously never been to Scotland then , Take your pick from:

1)Ned/jakie Glasweigan accent
(example) Whit ya doin ya bam gie us yir carry oot or ill pit yir heed threa a windae!

2) Annoying scottish East coast accent
(example) Fair aboots are ye headin oot tonight? aye a ken a place well

3) Silly coarse inverness accents

4) southern should be in england Border accents ( Note i usually avoid talking to people with this accent as the accents just grinds on me.

But we do have two great accents
1) The Highland male accent, (sexy and deep as spoken by my own lips)
2) The Outer Hebridean female accent ( those high and low changes are second in pure audio delight only to their irish cousins!)

I think I say love-lee but it's sort of in between both really. Love-ley I guess.

Everyone says love-lee in Essex. Well, the non-stupid people anyway.

all the dictionaries i can find say luv-lE*. And all I've ever heard from non-brits is lee. I'm loathe to say that any given pronunciation is 'wrong' because i feel it's all pretty arbitrary, but i do feel comfortable saying that pronunciations which are unsupported by dictionaries cannot accurately be called 'correct.'

*except one that thought it could settle the issue by putting it as "luv-ly". Thanks, assholes.

Deepflow 1 Nov 2005 19:32

I say love-lee

because it's the correct way to say it.

I keep finding myself saying "Is it" instead of "orly" or "you serious?" sometimes. It's a South London thing and it makes me sound shit.

I don't say it at school, luckily. It's like swearing, I just don't allow myself to do it.

the black country accent is less vile. but still vile.

don't ever try to tell me what I meant again.

I like most accents. They make things more interesting. I would hate it if everyone sounded the same.

i don't live in birmingham, i live in solihull. how you can possibly say a birmingham accent is worse than a black county one is beyond me.

don't ever try to threaten me on the internet again.

Re: annoying british accents
 
The standard birmingham accent isn't too bad actually, I agree with Add. It is the black country one that Aryn seems to be describing.

A brummie accent isn't strong enough for it to sound like that.

Re: annoying british accents
 
"lovelay" is how someone doing an exaggerated impression of a midlands accent might say it; no-one there actually would (retards excepted)

besides which, the bint in question is explicitly identified as being from "near manchester"

solihull is part of that great shithole that is birmingham.

I expect that you've got one of those god awful birmingham accents. hence your trying to defend them.

i'm not interested in arguing. solihull is not part of birmingham.
