figured cockney would be pretty low on the list, but dare I ask which accent is the Brummie accent?

Oh and Southern Ireland = Republic of Ireland....which isn't in the UK, therefore the whole thing is nonsense. Was just going to say this. I stopped reading when I saw that |

To be fair, the survey was for accents in the British Isles, not the United Kingdom. The former does include the Republic of Ireland, so Southern Irish's inclusion is valid.
The Mirror article's headline is misleading.

Whatever Layla speaks is the most attractive. An english woman with a poor fake American accent? Unrelated, but northern accents on Women is an absolute boner killer. Geordie birds especially sound more like blokes than women. |

The Welsh accent would have got my vote there, always does it for me. Worst would be Manc or Scouse I guess since I've lived in Birmingham and it didn't really bother me much.

Geordie birds especially sound more like blokes than women. I can confirm this. There's nothing worse than having a girl make eyes at you on a night out, then when you go over to introduce yourself, she turns out to be the embodiment of the Scouse accent. |

There are various accents in the Republic and in Northern Ireland. "Southern Irish" isn't narrowed down enough. RP is the nicest, to me |

Well, Gerry Butler is walking around the States with his Weegie slang and seems to be doing alright for himself. Of course, he is dreamy (he's on my list). I once saw him in the west end of Glasgow walking towards us eating an ice cream. I almost followed him. But that's beside the point...

I find the Scouser accent quite amusing actually.
I remember talking to British touring car driver Paul O Neill, very nice bloke but is a big a Scouser as they come.
Didn't try and steal my car wheels thankfully.

You have to be polite and at least converse for a little bit before making an excuse to leave! |
