World's best/coolest accent
What's your favourite accent to listen to? Or have a larf at?

And, are there any accents you find impossible to understand, even if it's in English?

South African or Zimbabwean accents imo. Love them wish i had one. I generally find the Chinese & Indian accents the hardest to understand (speaking from experiences at uni only)

Hmmm, I like a few: South African (haven't worked out which regional one it is I like best, yet), southern Irish & Welsh (south only, though - North Wales accents are dreadful )

Well, no. But I thought I'd specify that I found it hard when they speak English. That said, it has to be particularily strong for me to have trouble.

Neither can I. Although, apparently all they say is 'Sucky, Sucky $5' or Mao!
