some examples of how to speak Hull are here - https://twitter.com/amyltommo/status/317631415950929922 but just to provide a plavour....

Surfer - a couch. Erk - a type of wood. The perp - the Bishop of Rome 😀

Wasn't the former deputy PM, John Prescott, from Hull?

He couldn't be described as having a mellifluous voice.

I guess beauty is in the ear, or eye, of the beholder.

You'd need to post a link to an audio before I could form an opinion.

or you could listen for hours, if you were so inclined. Good luck if you do.

It's ok. I think there are others that would rival it.

 

I think accents come in two groups, either "acceptable/nice" or "gets on your nerves". "Sexy" doesn't really come in to it.

OG - Douglas and I would, I suspect, respectfully disagree with that assessment. 

[Cloverjo]

I do like accents. All of them.
Maureen Lipman has a Hull accent, but I hers has been tempered by living in London and working on stage, I guess.

Sexy?  I don't find any accents sexy, sorry.  

Being Yorkshire, I don't have any problems with the Hull accent anthough it's not the prettiest.   Sheffield's worse.

OG '"Sexy" doesn't really come in to it.'

Oh but it does.. 'my mate' Politics Phil is from Hull sooo sexy!
