My favourite accent is the circumflex - except we don't use it much in England, unless we're having a fête. ------------- What? |

I love Australian accents, they're so cool. Watching and listening to Flight of the Concords also makes the Australian/New Zealand accent cooler (for me, at least).

The Scots have the widest range of accents in the UK - some I can understand and some I cannot. The Inverness accent is allegedly closer to "Queens English" than most English accents. ------------- What? |
