I do NOT like the Stockport/Manchester accent.
And I'm really not keen on Liverpool/Birmingham.

I love soft Scottish, and quite conveniently I've always been keen on a bit of the Radio 4 style posh-voice.

Sorry badger
I'm sure your missus is from the one area of Bolton whose inhabitants don't sound like they're in the middle of an aneurysm.

Oh seriously, bad accents from around home are the worst
Though I don't mind it if it's a little soft. It's the whiny ones with rising inflection that get me.
