'Brummies' have gotta have the worst sounding accent in UK

I would have to dissagree there, brummies have a very mundane sound to their tone in most cases, however to talk to they are fairly easy to understand, I work in a job where I have people all over the country calling me up for advise, sometimes I find it very hard to understand what people are saying, particularly people from places like scotland and Wales, no disrespect to the people at all, just some have a very strong accent which takes getting used to!

I hear ya 'adman' but their accent to me, just sounds so...you said it, 'mundane'. No dis-respect to the 'brummies', just my opinion......Famous brummies?...Lenny Henry.....

OK Obviously if English is your second, or third language chances are you probably do...I'm from South Florida and I dont think I really have any accent..but my family is from Chicago and they all have a definate accent ;example "Shikaahgoh" is how they say it..New Yorkers definatley are identified by their accent,; "Im from Nuu Yaaawk" ... Deep South out to Texas have the "Southern drawl". no example needed there....my buddy from Boston, oh yeah he's got an accent he says "I live in Baahston, I dont need a cah (car) to go to the mahhket (market) to get food, I use the caaahhbs (cabs)" ...

We don't say Nuuuu Yaaawk... that is a common mistake, more then 90% of the ppl frm ny dont say it that way. It is actully ppl that have italian accents that say it that way, more commonly then others.

So back to the q, no i dont have a accent, i do pronounce words differently(but not really too much) and i use diffrent words then in other parts of the US. I do travel alot and thats how i realized this.
