Which British accent do you secretly find the most attractive?

Posh, polished and slightly intimidating, it's the accent of Downton Abbey dinner parties and stern headmasters. Love it or loathe it, it still opens doors.

Warm, bouncy and almost impossible to mimic without sounding offensive. Cheryl made it famous, but locals have been charming the nation for decades.

Sharp, fast and full of personality, Scouse is the soundtrack of The Beatles and a thousand brilliant one-liners. You either find it irresistible or grating.

Soft, melodic and weirdly soothing, the Valleys accent could read a shopping list and make it sound like poetry. Tom Jones built an empire on it.

That rolling 'rrr' from Bristol down to Cornwall sounds like cider, scrumpy and adventure. Just don't mention Long John Silver.
