Are local accents sexy?

[strung out]

Not common... but broad westcountry accents aren't sexy either, I'm afraid. Not to me, anyway.

what about a soft westcountry burrr?

That accent is the worst. Sounds like someone saying "Yarry yorry yurry" in an angry moan.

My accent sort of slipped away - well it helps if people can understand you - and was distinctly upper class west indian (yes, there is such a thing). Now I'm back in these yer parts its back to being yokel .

Did you live there then??

 

[onenameshelley]

I think west country accents are lovely and sexy too

stfc has definitely retained more of his than me and onket have, although maybe we're just suppressing it, as cockenees and home counties gals have problems understanding us otherwise

Well sometimes I'm Margot, sometimes I'm Kat Slater

Don't get me wrong, wouldn't put me off...

But wouldn't draw me in, either.

Give me a rough-as-rats sounding Manc, any day.

Sorry n'tha'.

See STFC seems to think he’s lost his accent but I’ve told him it’s still there much to his annoyance – same for Onket and Hollis as well. Perhaps you don’t notice it if you are a yokel, but as a home counties girl I can hear it loads.

Grrrr.. accents rock

Well, two lovely ladies at the Mucky Pup told me that I didn't have a West Country accent. I think it comes out more depending on the company I'm in and/or amount of alcohol consumed. All the barrow boys I work with tell me that a there's a bit of a twang to certain words but on the whole it's not too bad. They'd crucify me otherwise.

When I go back to visit my parents they think I sound like a cockney. I'm afraid that since being away for nearly five years I have really grown to dislike the Gloucester accent.

The only time I met Hollis I could definitely tell he was of westcountry yoke

sorry for belated reply - yes, for 18-19 years in St Lucia.

They lied.

Now I think I sound like a cockney. But to hear that I've still got an accent is fantastic. I don't understand that you don't like yours, mate. To me a West Country accent sounds like home. And home is a good place.
