Yes. Not as stupid as some British ones, though.

It's great on women like Pirate said.

Nah. The only accent I can't stand is when Russian speak English. It's particularly terrible on women.

Nope. I like that accent. I think of Yvonne Strahovski, and I'm very happy.

Nah, they're alright, the only accent's that don't really do it for me are East Asian, and Middle Eastern. KlownMaster
well see I think its different. you are talking about people who dont speak the language, thats understandable. When it comes to English native speakers having funky/ugly accents, thats another thing

How the hell does that work? Australian is a nationality, not an ethnicity. You either are Australian or you're not.

There's technically no such thing as a British accent, right? There are different English, Scottish, and Welsh accents, but not really a British one, if I'm not mistaken.

It's definitely not one of my favorites and it does grate on me at times, but I tend to get used to accents pretty quickly and don't notice them all that much after some initial interaction. Though when I worked in a vacation city and I used to run into Australians a lot more often, it did amuse me the way they seemed to find it impossible to end a conversation without tacking on a "no worries".

You're correct. Even when people say English accent it confuses me, would you really say this guy has the same accent as the queen?

Yeah, I know the main ones are Cockney (London), Brummie (Birmingham), Geordie (Newcastle), Scouse (Liverpool) and another one for Manchester but I can't remember its name.

Not at all. What I find annoying is when I'm walking across a bridge and someone almost runs me down with their bike and I gotta tell them "oh come off it mate".

I don't mind them at all, I quite like Australians, except one. And I don't mind the accents at all, sometimes a bit hard to understand but all in all not irritating to listen to. How can you have a 'poor man' accent? Accents do not cost money.

I find all foreign accents charming, especially for women.
