I love Black Country.

 

[BN41Albion]

For me, Geordie and south Welsh.

My partner's from up north though and she bloody loves the accent down here. I could never understand why, but she loves the 'cheeky chappy' cockney sing-song accent of the south east as well as the laziness of it. For example Paul, pull and pool being pronounced the same and without even bothering (bovring) to pronounce the 'l's', and that everyone greets each other with "alrigh'? " "yeah, alrigh?" "Yeah"
The south east accent is pretty funny after someone's pointed out the above and you start considering it more on a day to day basis. It is a bloody lazy accent, for sure

 

[Nottseagull]

South Wales (ladies), Dutch, Central Lancashire and County Durham.

No west country/Oxon/Norfolk types preferred, I note. Nor colonial ones (Aussie/Kiwi/Sud Afrika).

 

[Eeyore]

Old Yorkshire
Somerset
Old Cockney
Edinburgh

 

[atfc village]

County Durham

 

[Invicta]

Why would the political border be relevant? The most northerly part of Ireland is in the Republic.

Generally very different accents though in my experience

 

[Nottseagull]

Old Yorkshire
Somerset
Old Cockney
Edinburgh

By 'Old Yorkshire' I expect you mean that thee and though business but how does Old Cockney differ?
