Well i'm from New Zealand and I find the british accent annoying, they talk like they have a stick stuck up their a****.

Wondering if I should weigh in on this....

Ummmmm if we talking about the common person from India speaking English then sometimes I can't understand it, they treat it harshly it sounds like they are shouting at me, also because we talk lot of slang in the UK some of the usage of particular words doesn't fit the sentence they are using, so it comes across as wrong. If we talking about posh and bollywood stars then its more polished, it comes across as friendly but even their wording of sentences is odd too. Thing with accents is that your voice changes to match up with where you live over time. Its the welsh accent that get me, it sounds nice I just dont understand it half the time lol.

@Mom yeah us Chicago girls don't have an accent either! Although whenever I go to New York everyone says I have a Chicago accent. I still don't know what a Chicago accent is. 😆
