I like the Liverpudlian accent , the Scottish accent but not the Glaswegian one, the southern Irish one but not keen on the very Brum one, like the West Country ooh rah ooh rah and the Bristolian one

Don't really dislike accents it's just the trouble of making them out ..
I have cousins in Morpeth and sometimes I have difficulty in making out what they say. B-i-r-m-i-n-g-h-a-m too. Like the Irish brogue.
All the northern ones where they can't say O sounds annoy me. I like The brummie, soft Irish (not the harsh northern Ireland) similar with the Scottish accents, I don't like the Glasgow one but the soft highland ones are fine. Scouse is fine but only from the men, the whinny women talking scouse annoy me! I'm told that I don't have an accent at all even though I am originally from Saaaafeeed!
Probably the Cork one Ellie, believe it or not the Newcastle one differs from a Gateshead one and there’s just a bridge dividing them ,a lot of Northern accents derive from when miners came from Scotland south looking for work
^^ I'm a bit like you Tora - I've worked in so many areas and must have picked up styles of speech along the way. When I meet people I don't know, they usually say "where are you from" as they can't detect any accent. Odd!
Dislike; Mockney cockney accents a la Ray Winstone and Danny-oh-so- Dire and, no matter what they are saying to you, the men and women of Belfast always sound to me as if they're delivering an Ian Paisley speech.
Ken, haha, they growl and sound angry but used to love the comedians ,The way I tell em and the very quiet spoken Belfastolian , can’t remember his name , I think he was NI
I quite like the Scouse and Geordie accents so easy to impersonate... all you need is an helium balloon.
Aussie is easy to do as well, I can not do American whichever state or Welsh.
I don't dislike any accents it's where they're from but Scots totally loose me sometimes.
TTT - you persistently accuse northerners of inserting an "R" into words but I've only ever heard it done by southerners, particularly West Country. As a Lancastrian I'd never heard it at all until I came south.
