  1. Liverpool, Newcaslte-Upon-Tyne, Birmingham - all strong accents that are difficult ot understand. Oh, Scottish, Welsh and Irish too

    Shoestring?
  4. On accents: I've only heard Swedish accents I don't understand on television in programs about accents.

    I do have problems with certain English accents as well. Scottish accents are probably the worst (if we don't count India and those places).

    Tim: Yeah. Everyone should download it immediately.
  5. There are some incredible shots in that multicam. Truly incredible. Well worth the wait.

    And let's not start on Asian accents...
  6. Edinburgh accents are very clear, Glaswegian you may struggle with, but the further north you go, the worse it gets.

    P.S. I wasn't being biased.
  7. Central-UK seems the ones I srtruggle the most with. Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield, etc... all are horribly tough for me. I still have to try thick Scottish accents, though, maybe they're even harder. I have an obvious soft spot for the Irish accent so I understand it pretty well
  8. I'm not from Manchester but living here I haven't noticed a particularly strong accent. Maybe it's less noticable to a native speaker.
