The worst of British accents!

How can we call ourselves a blog of Britisisms if we didn't explore the whole range of British accents? In our best of British list, they pretty much all came from london or close by! So here, we include the worst of British accents, a list of cringe-inducing, brain numbing, IQ reducing, rather-listen-to-my-parents-having-sex, horrendous accents.

The Mancunian accent (Manchester)
Having been brought up in England and being subjected to this rotten piss in audio form being played over and over and over and over again in the 90s, like Wonderwall (should've been named Caterwaul), Don't look back in Anger, and other terrible droney songs. Oasis appeared to be everywhere, and maybe it's this never-ending repetition that instilled in me my disdain for this accent. This may be my least favourite accent of all time, and these two pricks certainly aren't any help to the image of Manchester!



Brummie (Birmingham)
If there was ever an accent which could accurately reflect the quality of life in that area, well, the Birmingham accent would definitely match that! You feel bored and depressed just listening to this accent! HOWEVER, the prince of darkness, Ozzy Osbourne also has this accent, and who doesn't love Ozzy!? so, maybe all is forgiven...




Essex (East London.. Yes.. London!)
Definitely not everyone with this accent sounds stupid, but this accent can certainly make you sound like you just stepped off the special bus! Especially if you really HAVE stepped off the special bus, like these guys from TOWIE...




Scouse (Liverpool)

With a mild Liverpool accent, one might be forgiven and actually sound endearing (The Beatles!) However I'm here to show you how terrible this accent can sound, and ugh...
