A pirate radio station (HOT 92.0 I believe) were saying a 14 year old Jamaican girl got raped by a gang of 18 muslim men so the black and asians in the Lozells/Handsworth area have declared war on each other, and they are two of the roughest areas in Birmingham, even U.K it doesn't suprise me people are pulling guns on each other and smashing up houses, you do NOT want to go down those parts even with a cru.

I think the accent is enough of a reason to avoid Brum

And while you're at it, cross of Bristol on your "places to visit" list. They have a terrible accent too
(Actually, they had more violent crimes per person than anywhere else in the UK in 2004)

Ok so in one post you've managed to knock the city I grew up in and the city I currently live in. Thats good going...and besides the bristol accent is just a more sophisticated version of the welsh one...so there.

I think some of the worst English accents are places like Surrey and Bedfordshire. Those 'almost-cockney-but-not-quite' sort of accents that are even worse than cockney itself.

But the absolute worst of the lot has to be Manchester. They all sound like they've got a blocked nose.

To be honest, almost every UK accent irritates me in some way!

The generic posh southern English accent where they pronounce "no" as "neigh".

The Geordie accent because it sounds like they were trying to be Welsh, but got a bit mixed up.

The westcountry accent in general, grates and annoys.

South Wales accent, quite short and harsh, is annoying unless it's being sung, not spoken.

Scottish accents, not the worst, but Glasgow has a bit of grate to it.

Scouse. Enough said.

Brum. Enough said.

Northern Ireland, the way they pronounce "row" as "roy".

In the British Isles, the only accent I really like is that from around Dublin.
