add me to the Brummie haters list & i'm not keen on Scouse either. favourite accents are southern Irish & Scottish.
i have a mixed up accent as i was born & raised untill age 9 in Kent so had a sort of diet cockney accent, then moved to the Shetland Isles for 4 years. the accent up there is strange, a bit like the Highlands/Gaelic accent but broader. closet i've got to hearing it again was when watching Trawlermen on the BBC. hopefully living here since 13 has leveled it out a bit.
best accent i've heard was from a bloke who worked for my dad. he was born in Persia & looked a bit like Kachloul but he learned to speak English in Cork so had a very strong Irish accent. always cracked me up, especially after he'd a few pints
