I agree for the most part with these
However, I genuinely have a problem with Indian accents, due to being deaf, and I really can understand Geordie/Scottish accents better, being all Northern.

HOWEVER, nobody's been shitty with me when I've had to ask them to put me through with a bit less of an accent, EVER. The 'Deaf' word is getting easier to use now.

Well, you have a viable excuse there.
And the Geordie/Scots thing is an example of my Southern bias, so I will concede that point as well :)

This was mostly a stream of consciousness ramble brought about from a lack of sleep and several shitty customers. Re-reading it this morning after several cups of tea there are a few things that I ought to change/clarify (see my reply to Batsgirl upthread for an example) but I'll let it stand as it is, with my explanations and backtracking in the replies.
