to say "I like the english accent" or "i dont like the english accent is meaningless anyway because even in such a relatively small country the variation in accents is huge. even where i live in the north east the accents from the 3 main towns and cities (Sunderland, Newcastle & Middlesbrough) are completely different and theyre all within 35 miles of each other. Newcastle and Sunderland are only 12 miles apart and the accent changes massively. to a southerner we probably all sound the same, but its like that for me on the other end of the coin. to me anybody from reading, london, luton, bedford all sound the same. Its just one massive southern accent to me. Clearly its not but bugger me if i can tell the difference.
