Most accents have certain connotations we take from them. For example, if someone talks like the queen, then we instantly think they must be posh and rich. It obviously works the other way if you sound like me.
So today, I want to know about your favourite accents. It could be the accent you find most sexy, or the one you just really like the sound of. Let me know with a quick comment. Oh and maybe we could have an accent bashing session, with the worst accent. The one that really grinds on you, when you hear it you just think oh no this person is going to be a moron.

Favourite on blokes: Scouse. I find them so funny.
Favourite on Women: A southern english beuaty accent. I loved Han’s accent for one!
Least Favourite: Ironically, the shrilly Charlotte Church Welsh Accent

On blokes it would have to be Aussie, SA or NZ or even a soft spoken Spanish accent always sounds good.
On women a nice English accent kind of like Kate Winslet or an American accent, not white trash but that soft lilt which doesn’t sound too whiny.
My least favourite would be French or a really strong Brummie type.

On guys - South Africa or Aussie accents, I also love a bit of French accentage and i have a big soft spot for very well spoken guys. Like Colin Firth.
On girls - I don’t really care because I’m not into girls so voices don’t phase me - although anything chavvy or the kiwi accent on girls really grates on me.
