You're right.

'Cos the Bristolian accent is irritatingly dumb.

Mind, not quite as dumb as Brum.

Cool accents are waye-aye man Geordie and Weeles boyo !

Some N.Ire accents are cool - but others are grievous ... the things they

Geordie is my favourite accent, Brummie my least.
Soft Scouse is also pleasant but not the shrill 'can cut glass
at 50 paces' version!
