Last night, I ( greek-american) was talking to this one hot british girl; however, her accent was so thick i couldn't understand her. It was if she was speaking another language.

Got me thinking, do Brits also have some difficulties understand the various British accents?

I have a pleasant southern Ireland accent which I know isn't British but I still find it hard to be understood, especially when I get in a temper.

Do you know where she was from?

I'm ok with most but when alcohol is added certain regional accents are tough I do have problems with the scot and scouse accents

But if she was hot who cares

Geordie, scouse and Glaswegian sound like foreign languages to me. Some Irish accents are the same, and I'm from an Irish family!

I travel about a fair bit, and I don't really have too much trouble with accents.

There are lots of insular communities in Britain though, filled with people who don't venture outside of their own postcode for years at a time - they probably have quite a bit of trouble understanding anybody else.

The southern Irish makes my legs wobble

I was born in Hampshire bought up in Dorset and now live in Surrey so can go from a very Dorset carrot cruncher twang to a very posh accent without noticing

One of my girlfriends grew up in Glasgow - where her mum is from but has an accent that is also peppered with her dad's thick Irish one. She also speaks at a hundred miles and hour. People are always asking her to slow down when she speaks but luckily for me, I understand her just fine.

She then married a Liverpudlian and his accent is very strong. Their littles ones have great accents

. I always find it interesting how children pick up the accent their parents have.

When my friend has had a drink, she speaks even more - intensely

Have another friend whose parents are from Barbados but he was born and raised in London. He has a full on Bajan accent to accompany his Queen's English

Love different accents. My favourites are Scottish, Southern Irish & Kent I think.

I have been told I have a posh telephone voice. I know though, that depending on who I am with, words like grass, bath and cider end up more like graaaaassssss, baaaaaaaath, and zoiiiidddeeer.

Another one here that struggles to understand broad Glaswegian...also some of the Marras I work with (Whitehaven) can be difficult to understand especially when they talk fast (and that's only 25 miles up the coast from Arse End)...I, of course, do not have an accent and speak with crystal clarity at all times

A north London accent is the best but then I am biased too posh ok yaa goes right through me same for lots of other areas in England a lilting Irish accent is so soothing. I just think Londoners are for the main part quick witted everyone else is slow witted - the old just cos I talks slow don't mean I'm stupid springs to mind
