I don't particularly like the NED accent. Its very nasal and broad and I associate it with Heroin addicts

The common American accent. The one you hear on TV shows and movies.
I quite like the southern accent though. I also hate the way Indian celebrities speak English. They try and copy the American accent and it just sounds horrible imo

Yorkshire can be bad. And Birmingham, plus Welsh. American can be really shrill and annoying, especially in loud women

Geordie, Liverpool, Valleys, and my own.

Alternatively, the best accents imo are Irish, gotta love 'em

Understanding Brits when they're speaking fast is heck difficult.

Chinese/Japanese when they try to speak English.

-It really drags on.

Afghanistan when they try to speak English.

Portuguese Angolans.

Polish when they try to speak English, or actually when they're speaking Polish.

-It sounds like they're constantly moaning or upset about something.

Indians when they try to speak English.

I tend to dislike most accents that aren't like mine, purely because i'm not used to hearing them. The worst is Birmingham and Liverpool, but posh London accents are also horrid.

I wouldn't say it's a horrible accent but the Welsh accent just sends me to sleep it sounds so boring.
I also don't like when people talk really posh, "Queen's English" or whatever it's called, I always feel like they're judging my not so great pronunciation of things.
