Yorkshire has the best accent in the UK

[cgymike]

Very even and full of flavour...oh aye....better than New York...in America....

 

[goldenmoth]

Ha, yeah it's pretty cool. All the UK accents are pretty great

That is a pretty weird Yorkshire accent to my ear. This video is more the accent I have come across, but no doubt that is to only having been to more urban areas.:

The first clip is an old Yorkshire farmer. The second is some kid from the city, Leeds I'd guess. The Yorkshire accent is pretty varied, try comparing Barnsley with Harrogate, but certainly a lot less irritating than many of the others.

and then York is quite different as well.....wonder wot ULOM sounds like

 

[HoodedRat]

Almost any accent is better than Bristolian, Liverpudlian, Cockney, or Welsh.

ULOM isn't from Yorkshire.





I forget now where it was, somehere in the Midlands (Warwick? Coventry?) he said was from?

And when I met him, I didn't detect any strong accent, just a fairly standardised English.

My paternal side of the family were Yorkshiremen a few generations back.

It isn't only the accent...it is the way they behave.

Are these the rareboy ancestors?

 

[The_Reaper]

Hear a Yorkshireman, or worse hear a Cornish man converse...

Well sorry mate...could be worse - I could have said Basingstoke...
