Some accents annoy me but I'm quite glad we have different accents around different parts of the country. It's sort of tribal in its own way.

It’s funny I don’t mind different accents when talking to people, it’s hearing it on the radio or telly. Suppose it’s because it’s constant repetition or something

I like speaking to different people when on holiday etc. I think it's fascinating to hear the different accents to be fair. From Brum through Stoke to Liverpool and Manchester is a massive difference despite the relatively close proximity of all the places. Then you've got Geordie etc. which if you didn't know would sound like something from another country at times.

In Nantwich a few weeks ago and thought Christ that’s a strong Stoke accent, then realised it was my wife talking to someone.

Funny how moving out of Stoke and there’s no mistaking it

Was asked by a scouser where in Liverpool was I from?
There’s two accents in Stoke the slight harsher version in the north of the city, and the softer version in the south.
I always wonder if Staffordshire is the county with the most accents - Black Country, Potteries, country burr on the Shropshire border, Derby like accent in Burton on Trent.
Whilst the potteries accent may be healthy, the dialect is dying off. The unique words of our area are fascinating and worth preserving by use.

Whenever I hear Angela Smith doing an interview or commenting on this site or the radio, I think it's my sister!

When I hear Denis Smith on Radio Stoke he’s my fathers voice twin.

Quality list. Can I add Norfolk to it please. Just....wtf is going on there. In fact for entertainment value alone I'd like to put one of them in a room with a Geordie and watch the confusion.
