The M25 is circular so that could include London.

[gremlin]

Most of SE Asia, South America, Eastern Europe and Surrey/Hertfordshire then..?

[Count Steer]

Having been brought up be B’ham I find a Brummie accent strangely endearing.
Hated: hardcore Essex
Jafrican accents on white kids
The Mancunian Whine - think Gallagher Brothers, what his name from The Fall and most ManYoo fans

Mark E Smith? If he was alive he might get a bit huffy about the Mancunian tag. (He was born in Salford ).

Hit the North.

[ChrisW]

A girlfriend from my early 20s who I greatly regret finishing with - I was too young, she was too serious for me at the time (sorry, Catherine) was from Marseille & fluent in Russia albeit in her French accent. That was a truly wonderful combination.

Essex geezah? nope.
Black country? Well, theres sometimes a very dry sense of humour hidden in there and I quite like that.
Geordie? Not bad.
West Cumbria (Marras) I work with these guys a lot and really like the pisstaking not trying to big themselves up style.

Carlisle? Hmm, hard one there cos I'm live here but I prefer Marras. Carlisle sense of humour can be a bit "Haha, you fell over"

Whiny Mancs who are so inept that they can't even set their own mic the right height? Naah but thats not all Mancs is it.

Soft Irish? Yeah, but Ian Paisley Irish? Nope, sou ds like a.nutter.

There thats all I can think of right now and I've likely offended enough random strangers by now.

How about Queensbury?

In'tinttut.
Or, it isn't in the hut.

My mother ditched that accent and as she's dead now I can't argue with her about it.

There's worse.

I was 17 & fooling around with an extremely exotic looking/sounding (27yo) French-Mauritian. We're talking the kind of looks that would make the Pope kick a nun & raise a boner in a corpse. I royally fucked up that FWB deal.
She'd be 74 now, so probably a bit wrinkly

And Lanzarote
Yeah but they try and do the Manc whine …

[Bigjawa]

Soft Irish? Yeah, but Ian Paisley Irish? Nope, sou ds like a.nutter.

His accent was odd, he was from Armagh originally, grew up in Ballymena and ended up living in Belfast. He was actually a very nice man in person believe it or not.

I love some English accents Mancs in general and I'm an absolute sucker for a posh totty accent and Welsh accents are just

The one accent I can not stand is the Derry one, it's like nails on a blackboard.
