That said, I'd definitely slip Cat Deeley one.

You are so, so right... Birmingham, twinned with Mogadishu and Baghdad (or at least it ought to be, in terms of the extent of its appeal).

And whoever said Scots are bad... oi oiiii, not all of 'em. Well, not the wife and her family, at any rate.

That Shagster's a wrong'un, though...

So you have been to Birmingham recently?? I find it a great place to go and the new Selfridges and the re-developed Bull Ring represent so much about the way the City has moved on from the stereotypical view non visitors have which stems back from the 70s and 80s.

Also i like the fact we have regional dialects that have been around for a long time, it adds character to this country of ours. The only accents that do tend to irk me more than most is the strong Estuary accents which always makes me cringe when you get someone from these parts open their mouth on national TV and the other one is the faux ghetto accent that certain sections of our youth try to use thinking they are from somewhere other than the UK.

You are talking about the infamous Buffalo Joes.

Australians are not my favourite people to be honest, very brash and lairy and most of them can't hold their drink so after a few pints turn into even more of a pest.

Most of the Welsh i have met have a huge huge chip on their shoulders about the English and life in general and quite frankly hate us with a passion so i like to return the favour.

Last but not least people from Yorkshire really get on my tits with all their bullsh!t and for some reason think they are the only people that can drink and are an honest bunch. do me a favour, they are a bunch of wife beating, bitter drinking tight arse w%&kers and the accent drives me mad.

Quite like the scousers, always up for a laugh and have got a good sense of humour and dont mind he Jocks either for the sasme reason.

AA operators from Oldbury in the West Midlands. Couldn't give a monkeys about the accent only their complete inability to do what their payed for. Completely useless.

My wife is from Dublin, and has the same problem after a few drinks as well...  

If only I'd married an Irish Girl - she'd have been ****ed every night.

Just got back from Ibiza/northern England! Seriously ridden with them. In one bar we were approached by a couple of mancs who came over to us whinging about all the scousers that had taken over the back bit of the bar. He proceeded (with a little persuasion) to go ‘do something about it’ him and his plank of a brother went over and hit one of em, the scousers went f%%king nuts and beat the two to a pulp, there was no bouncers or doorman so we sat back, watched and enjoyed our northern friends take lumps out of each other – stupid to$$ers!

On the Scotland front – booked the holiday over the phone and the call centre was in some town just outside Edinburgh, spoke to a very charming young lady called Emma who couldn’t get enough of my ‘Essex accent’. After 30 minutes of flirting/booking holiday and taking my details the call ended. However, 10 minutes after the call she texted me wishing me a happy holiday and then sent pictures of herself

perfect start to messy holiday – heres to playing a Scottish team in the champions league in the near future!

We went on a lads holiday to Napa, and can also confirm every foreign country has become a playground for northern monkeys...

Everywhere you go theres people from Stoke, Preston, Liverpool, Manchester etc, every Northern slum you can think of.

Oh yes, a lot of the ladies up here do tend to go for the Essex accent  

Maybe because we're a bit more sophisticated than baseball capped, shell-suited, 40 a day smoking, monosyballic, vodka addicts  

By pictures do you mean "interesting" ones ? ? ?

Well… interesting in terms that she wasn’t ginger didn’t have pale skin and had no needle marks on her arms!

I mean I don’t like to stereotype but this one surely couldn’t have originated from ‘we ol Scotland’!

That's an old stereotype of Scottish women!
They're now more likely to look they've been tangoed due to tanning salon abuse. I'd also say Scotland could keep the GHD hair straightners company in profit for a very long time. Girls (especially Weegies) from 15-35 tend to generally have this same look

I never cease to be amazed by how many "tanned" lasses you see in Glasgow - every last one of them having acquired said "tan" either out of a bottle (i.e. they're orange), or on an electric beach (i.e. they're a scary mahogany-twinged-with-ultra-violet)...

 

[Shrimper till i die]

I am still yet to come across a girl that beats the good ol ‘Essex girl’. I travelled hundreds of miles to Ibiza and the only girl I got with (on numerous occasions) was an Essex one! (Col******r to be precise, and after beating Sunderland and them losing to west brom I think I may have halved their fan base and converted her to support the ONLY team in Essex.) anyway… after knowing her for approx 5 minutes it took very little persuasion to get her crackers off and in the sea at 7am for some Sarfend loving!

Long live the Essex girls.

(yes, all these little stories are just me trying to brag about my holiday!
