you know i've been told someone who pay attention can actually narrow down what street in a particular city you were from simply by accent..

i once dated a girl whos mother had a really hard time getting along with another of my friends who had a rather thick 'common' (i'd say cockney, but i think thats only one variation) accent even though he was otherwise very nice & well educated..

That probably depends on how familiar you are with the area. I know that for me a sign that I'm in practice with either Spanish or Portuguese is that I can discern regional accents and tell you what they are.

That said, just about any British accent is cool. I nearly drooled when Bigben said "I'm a fat bastard" :)

Whatever happened to the subtle sexiness of a Kiwi accent?!!!

Hands down...the sexiest accent I've heard on a woman's voice!

Second to that would be Irish, then Scottish.

English accents are nice, but it's such a 'common' accent - having a distinction is much better!! (this would include a strong english accent...i.e, cockney, liverpuddlian, welsh)

Kate Winslet and Minnie Driver get me stirred up!!;)

You're thinking of Professor Henry Higgins, I believe.

Why? It's not a Cornish "country bumpkin" accent is it? I kinda like mine, except it tends to change depending on who I'm talking to. Kind of mild scouse/Lancashire mix, if you can imagine such a thing.
