The worst accent by far has to be a West country farmers accent, even smart people sound like dorks with that one. Like that bloke with the long blonde shaggy hair on C4, 'i've got a brand new combine harvester'.
Best accent - has to be Cockney, you can say a lot with without all the erm's erm's ( no offence scousers ) lol.

Hate the Manc accent and the North Welsh Accent (They sound so common).
I love the soft scottish accents and the South West Accents!!
I'm from Liverpool and some accents are so broad round here they are hard to understand! South Liverpool tends to have a stronger more gutteral accent than the North of Liverpool!!

I love Yorkshire accents the best, especially West Yorkshire. I'm not fond of the Cockney accent.

Love Southern Irish and Geordie accents they have a lovely soft tone. Love my scouse accent.
Don't like Brummie or Manchester accents much sometimes can't understand what they are saying.

I love the Liverpool accent, or Scouse as we call it here.
I don't particularly like the Manchester Accent.
