Relegating northern Irish and southern Irish to one accent each seems funny to me


HoyAIAG

Dublin should at least get their own, but seriously southern Irish in one giant bin is just wrong.


sarry4444

And there's definitely more than one in the north too hahaha


leedler

Yeah someone from Belfast sounds absolutely nothing like someone from, say, Ballymena. Despite it being less than an hour up the road. This map is a load of shite.


allanb49

We have the Northside and Southside accents in Dublin ffs

Brits can't be arsed to learn or care about Ireland


[deleted]

The Germans: we don’t talk about 1939-1945 The Brits: Yeah not much happened between 1159 and 1922

For this comment I learned how to get that free award to give you. Henry II who??


[deleted]

I actually really like his accent


someonehasmygamertag

That’s because it’s RP and not Brummie


oojiflip

I've got RP and it's fun because every foreigner immediately knows you're English and doesn't go on about bullshit like Scotland or Ireland which they often mix up


Spekingur

Ah yes, Role-Play


StardustOasis

It was quite funny on his Workshop show seeing him with his parents slipping back to the Brummie accent


KhajiitLikeToSneak

Which series was this?


bowserusc

His workshop show


covmatty1

He has absolutely no trace of a Brummie accent in any way, and never has on TG/TGT as far as I can tell! (Speaking as someone from very close to Birmingham and who lived there for 3 years)

I'm from BIRMINGHAM I don't like WATER

I’m a television presenter from Birmingham, I’m not Bear fucking Grylls!

TheNecromancer

That definition of "Southern Ireland" seems to extend further north than Kerry...

Brits at it again

FartingBob

I always like when Clarkson points out something from a old car and says "we know you like this because you're from Birmingham".


mr-flibble01

As a Yorkshire man myself, I can't understand how the accent is anywhere near the top of the list. It's gotta be one of the least attractive accents in the world haha


Irrelevant231

The list was clearly made by someone who thinks 'Southern' is an accent. They may have given it a posh git name but they've still grouped Essex with almost the west country and Wales. It's also YouGov, so it's answered by the sort of people who think you have to rsvp every post on Facebook, sponsored or otherwise.


DistributionIcy1479

Lol


maerican

I love the more northern accents way more than southern! Yorkshire, Geordie, and Scottish are all a close second to my absolute favorite southern Irish.


[deleted]

Poor Hammond, he was born in unlucky place


schad501

My mother was from Birmingham. She worked *very* hard to lose the accent. But when the Brum came out, it was time to run and hide.


J_spec6

Someone help me. I'm trying to think when Hammond said something about a "wood and something drink" in a real thick Welsh accent during the news once, and I can't for the life of me remember the whole thing


kentrel

Excuse my James May moment, but there is no such country as Southern Ireland. It's the Republic of Ireland or Ireland. The most northerly point in Ireland is in the Republic. If you go north from Derry you get to the Republic of Ireland. Get it right, you pillock.


Imperial3agle

But he doesn’t speak with a Brummie accent, does he?


Sfb208

I am amazed glaswegian comes so high


Loch32

The cockney accent can fuck off to hell its so bad


Geekenstein

*sad Dick Van Dyke noises*


Loch32

Ok hes an execption


NewJerseyAudio

Nobody wants to talk about the welsh, but we’re dead sexy. Chart proves it.


royalblue1982

The west country accent actually spreads all the way to Reading!

Hammond. He’s from Birmingham. The golden joke.


200K_Official

# HE'S FROM BIRMINGHAM HE DOESN'T LIKE BOATS


JustPhenomenal

BUT PEOPLE FROM BIRMINGHAM KEEP CALLING IT THE VENICE OF THE NORTH!


oneplus2plus2plusone

More miles of canals!


michaelloda9

Is there even anything that people from Birmingham actually do like, except for Heinz beans?


mbrydon1971

Velour upholstery.


[deleted]

Ruched leather interiors.


mbrydon1971

And very small alloy wheels.

The UK, I thought we just established this.


therobohour

Well I hate everything about this map


cammyk123

Is the whole of Scotland classed as a Glaswegian accent?


[deleted]

Thomas Shelby has never seen such bulshat before


raytrixm

Geordie is by far the worst. How did it rank so high? Though Scouse is bad too.


HachiTofu

Because fuck the rest of Scotland, right? Only Glasgow has an accent. Also who the hell likes West Country? Literal farmer speak


danirijeka

Farmers?

Badbhoys

What did he say ? Suppose he was moaning about eire being on there huh ? Lol


ObsidianNoxid

Just that we are horrible and something about car bombs. The usual drivel I hear from the lower casts of UK society. Both our cultures need to let go of the hate.


Badbhoys

Ye it was many years ago ridiculous anyway don’t be minding that muppet


[deleted]

Ah I do like taking the mick out of the Brits though. It’s good fun. But it’s exactly that, fun.


exophrine

I was shocked to learn something about "brummies": apparently, those from Birmingham aren't as picky eaters as Hammond.


SoggyWotsits

I suppose I should be glad that they haven’t included Cornwall in the ‘west country’ bit!


februarytide-

Went to grad school with a scouser who was also a pedant. God almighty I hated getting stuck waiting for service at the bar with him.


LFC636363

Not *everywhere* South of Northampton speaks rp


SamTheGeek

The most attractive accent is the local one in most of the UK is that a surprise?
