I've taken to the assumption that it means a deep West Country accent, a la the Wurzels.SckizoBoy said:I've always meant to ask you... but which 'British' accent in particular? Even British English accents are as varied as American accents. Pretty much every county (of which there are 83) has their own local accent. London by itself has seven geographical accents...Lilani said:I like me a British accent...and I have an American accent (Plain old midwest, not southern or valley girl. Like Moviebob's broadcast voice). I don't know why I like British accents...they just sound so sweet and smart. And I don't get how anyone can like American accents, though it's probably the same thing. I'm around them so much they have no appeal.
That said (my last post, that is), despite everything, I don't mind a mild Louisiana accent...

According to an American friend of mine, Welsh accents are almost indistinguishable from a standard British accent. Which is certainly cause to celebrate, at least when I get around to visiting the States.Mr Cwtchy said:Really?

And I say this as a Welshman, I personally don't think there's anything sexy about it.
OT: Nothing particular, although RP is always pleasant to hear.
People from Wales...they're called Welsh. Welshmen. Sheep, etc. It's also the language they speak, which sounds like Elvish from LOTR. Except most of them don't speak it because oppression etc.chuckman1 said:Ive never heard of that whats welsh?
If Chuck here is any indication, some of my countrymen don't even know Wales exists.Da Orky Man said:According to an American friend of mine, Welsh accents are almost indistinguishable from a standard British accent.

Just got super ninja'd by this guy, so I'll choose a third one.Hazy992 said:I find French and Russian accents quite sexy
At least you don't have the accent of my local peers:ClockworkPenguin said:The Inverness accent is very pleasing to hear. BBC RP is all right, but I can't stand 'Gap Yah' southern accents. And of course French is very sexy
Unfortunately, I come from a place where people have this accent![]()
Cheerful, but not what anyone would deem sexy.
