Top 50 sexiest British accents ranked from worst to best – not great for Birmingham

HAVE you not been very successful with the ladies recently?

I have bad news for you — it might be your accent.

After Big Travel 7 surveyed 1.5million people, Britain’s sexiest (and least sexy) accents have been revealed.

Well gentlemen, take a look through the list below and find your accent.

Maybe its ranking will explain why you haven’t been getting any action recently… Or just stop wearing Crocs.

Here we go, where do you place?

 

50: Birmingham – Last place

BBC Press Release

Not such Peaky Blinders[/caption]

Yep, sorry to all the Brummies out there. You’ve bottomed the list. On the bright side… Oh wait there isn’t one.

49: Gloucestershire

Oh dear, moi luvverrr.

 

48: Hull

Eeh bah gum.

 

47: West Country

Not as lush as you thought.

 

46: Wolverhampton

Fairing slightly better than the Brummie accent, but not much.

 

45: Bristol

I can see a theme here. This area of the world has charm… Rather than sex appeal.

 

44: Cornwall

Who needs to be sexy when you have Cornish views?

 

43: Cheshire

This happens to be my accent and this explains a lot.

 

42: Salford

Sorry Gary[/caption]

I think we can all agree, Gary Neville does not sound sexy.

 

41: Sheffield

As an accent that’s basically a Yorkshire accent, I think men from Sheffield have a right to feel aggrieved.

Yorkshire places much, much higher.

 

40: Leicester

An offshoot of the Brummie accent with a few more lovely phrases.

Not enough to save it from 40th place though.

 

39: Hampshire

If I’m honest, I couldn’t tell you what a Hampshire accent sounds like, but I’ll hazard a guess at not very sexy…

 

38: Durham

Going properly up North, the Durham accent has strong hints of Geordie.

 

37: Devon

Basically West Country.

 

36: Coventry

The accent is about as sexy as the city.

 

35: Cumbria

Are you going to be alreeet Cumbrians?

 

34: Nottingham

Does Nottingham even have an accent?

 

33: Manx

The Isle of Man accent is hard to place.

A bit of Scouse and a bit of Mancunian basically results in a not very sexy accent.

 

32: Bolton

Mancunian-lite. Does Peter Kay’s accent turn you on ladies?

 

31: Preston

Similar to a Lancashire accent, but placing way down the list. Sorry Preston.

 

30: Crawley

Placed near Gatwick, the Crawley accent places in the bottom half of sexy accents.

 

29: Norwich

Alan Partridge doesn’t have a a Norwich accent, but I’m pretty annoyed he doesn’t top the list[/caption]

Alan Partridge doesn’t have a Norwich accent, that’s why he wouldn’t place so low on the list.

 

28: Sunderland

Whatever you do, don’t confuse the Sunderland accent (Mackem), with Geordie. Just don’t.

 

27: Bradford

I’ll be honest, I think the Bradford accent is lovely.

Calling it sexy is a bit of a stretch.

 

26: Middlesbrough

Slightly softer than the Geordie accent, but apparently less sexy.

 

25: Northumberland

Did you hear about the aquarium in Northumberland?

It was a ‘turtle’ disaster.

 

24: Stoke-on-Trent

A little bit of Brummie, a little bit of Scouse and a little bit of Manc.

Not a lot of sex appeal though.

 

23: Hebrides

A strong Celtic vibe.

 

22: Surrey

A bit of posh down in Surrey.

 

21: East Anglian

Weirdly similar to the West Country accent

 

20: Kent

Basically a neutral accent.

 

19: Highlands

As North of the Isle as you can go.

A quite melodic accent that places in the top 20.

 

18: Multicultural London English

A new kid on the block, this accent has emerged in recent years and is spoken by the younger generation.

If you sound like Stormzy, you’re got quite a secy accent, apparently.

 

17: Leeds

A proper Yorkshire accent, it places way above Sheffield, but below the Yorkshire accent.

I’m starting to question the validity of this survey.

 

16: Somerset

The best of the West Country finishes in 16th place. Not too bad.

 

15: Lancashire

Another Yorkshire-ish accent that finishes well.

 

14: Cardiff

There’s some loving going on in South Wales. Caaaaaadiff comes in 14th place.

 

13: Edinburgh

Looks like a good result for Edinburgh, but wait until you see who’s in 3rd…

 

12: Estuary English

Russell Brand has probably raised this up the list himself. That’s not fair.

 

11: Norfolk

Congrats to you Norfolk lads, apparently you’ve got a sexy accent. I can’t hear it myself.

 

10: Cockney London

Danny Dyer has a sexier accent than me apparently. Rubbish.[/caption]

Apparently Danny Dyer has a sexier accent than me. This is a bad day for me.

 

9: Yorkshire

If any of us sound like Sean Bean, were doing alright[/caption]

Yorkshire finally comes in 9th place.

Not bad at all. Put t’kettle on.

 

8: South Wales valleys

PA:Press Association

Rob Brydon is sexier than Sean Bean. There’s hope for you South Welsh lads after all.[/caption]

How can you not love the South Wales accent?

Feels like they’re always about to burst into song.

 

7: Newcastle

Look how happy Ant and Dec are after finding out they placed 7th on the list[/caption]

Why aye pet.

 

6: Liverpool

Steven Gerrard is ecstatic with his 6th place[/caption]

Great result for the Scousers, but look away from 5th place.

 

5: Manchester

The Gallagher brothers do not look impressed with 5th place[/caption]

Mancunian comes in ahead of its Scouse rivals.

 

4: Queen’s English

Handout

Well, if this is it, old boy, I hope you don’t mind if I go out speaking the King’s[/caption]

Posh is sexy then I guess.

 

3: Glasgow

Apparently ladies find Gerard Butler sexy. Who knew?[/caption]

Glaswegian lads rejoice.

You’re in the top three sexiest accents in the UK.

 

2: Northern Ireland

If you don’t think Liam Neeson’s accent is sexy, he will find you and he will kill you[/caption]

I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone that didn’t like the Norther Irish accent.

 

1: Essex

Mark Wright has the sexiest accent in Britain. Really? I’m done.[/caption]

Wait what? Apparently the Essex accent is the sexiest in the UK?

OK, I’m starting to question these 1.5million social audience.

I’m guessing 1.49million of them are from Essex.
