Scottish has to be my least favourite accent of the larger British Isle countries.
In general terms it goes:
- Welsh
- Irish
- English
- Northern Irish
- Scottish
As for specific 'British' accents I prefer:
- Mid-Wales
- South Wales
- Dublin
- Geordie (Newcastle)
- York
- London
- Belfast
- Manchester
- Cumbria/North
- Brummy (but not someone who mumbles horribly)
I guess it varies for each person. Two people from the same town can sound different. I'm just going by accents that my friends have and where they're generally from.
Last summer when I was living in Cyprus there were who people from Glasgow and I couldn't stand their accent. Maybe I just couldn't stand them... idk. Never been fond of Scottish.
"Yes, I am a Free Lover. I have an inalienable, constitutional and natural right to love whom I may, to love as long or as short a period as I can; to change that love every day if I please, and with that right neither you nor any law you can frame have any right to interfere. And I have the further right to demand a free and unrestricted exercise of that right, and it is your duty not only to accord it, but as a community, to see I am protected in it. I trust that I am fully understood, for I mean just that, and nothing else."
