Lived in Liverpool all my life but I hate the scouse accent I cringe everytime I hear it. When I was in the Army my mates wouldn't believe I was from Liverpool. I really like the Irish and Welsh accent myself.

You know I quite like the northern Irish accent-not the Ian Paisley heavy accent though-it's very musical. Same with the Italian accent you get different one's like Frankie Detorri has a very Southern Italian accent and Northern Italy is very different. catherine xx

The Midland accent or Brummie as most people call it is actually Chaucer's English that is why Black Country folk can understand Canterbury Tales. Pat

I am married to an Irish man, and after almost 60 years he still has his accent. I love it. The first time I met him I could not understand what he said, his accent was quite unique to me! LEITRIM My friends , also Irish both have different accents. One comes from accross the bridge from where my OH lived, and the other comes from KINSALE. Both lovely accents. I love the LIVERPOOL accent.... don't know why but I do. and I still speak a smattering of German. Deanna X
