The West Country accent is considered the most attractive to over-60s, with 63 per cent of the generation classing it as attractive.

In comparison, only 22 per cent of 18-24 year-olds find the sound sexy.

[Q]

The lyrical lilt of the West Country accent is the fifth sexist in the UK according to one leading pollster.

Could they be talking about us calling everyone "luvver" or "me bird"

That's all well & good Roscopecotrain , but what it doesn't say, is that you're somewhat restricted to local fillies, as nobody else can grasp the lingo.........................

Some Welsh accents do a lot for me. Westcountry, especially Janner, doesn't tend to. I might not be able to walk the streets of Plymouth in safety again for saying that!

No no it does nothing for me, it's like the hill billy accent of the UK.

Also fifth sexist? I didn't even know accents could be sexist...

West country fifth sexiest?
That must put it behind East country, Middle country, South country, North country and French.

All the Ewe's I am acquainted with will agree with the result.

Grew up in the West Country... but not lived there for nearly 40 years... and yet I still get asked 'where've ye parked yer tractuuur?'

I think I sound normal but others 'up ere' tend to disagree and expect me to pull a carrot out of my trouser pocket!
