Which British accent do you secretly find the most attractive?
From the rolling vowels of Yorkshire to the sing-song lilt of the Welsh valleys, our accents reveal more about us than we'd like to admit. Time to rank them honestly, no judgement (well, maybe a little).
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Received Pronunciation
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.
B
Geordie
Warm, bouncy and almost impossible to mimic without sounding offensive. Cheryl made it famous, but locals have been charming the nation for decades.
C
Scouse
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.
D
Welsh Valleys
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.
E
West Country
That rolling 'rrr' from Bristol down to Cornwall sounds like cider, scrumpy and adventure. Just don't mention Long John Silver.
