Hell no. Russian and Jamaican. Come on, you've got to admit that heavy Jamaican accents are the top of the list.

Gwen from Torchwood.

That is south Wales (Torchwood being filmed in Cardiff).

It's all Scotireland anyway, who cares?

Wrong.  The stereotypes are completely different over here.  The Welsh are singing farmers who do horrible things to sheep.  The Irish are drunken, red headed people who love to fight.  The Scottish are also drunken, but are fat and dour as well.

See?  Totally different in terms of stereotypes.

[Rowanas]

Yep. I'm Scottish, raised Cornish, so I see the Scottish as squat sturdy bastards (Dwarves ) the Cornish are similar in a lot of ways, but heavier drinkers and less dour. Welsh are fairly relaxed, but they enjoy their dominion over all the beasts of the field, if you catch m'meaning. The northerners are all the bad bits of the Scottish with none of the good bits, and big city people are poncy elf-likes. They'll devour anything to get a foot up and they get pissed off if you do the same thing to them as they do to you.

EDIT: The irish, well... they blow shit up and can't string a sentence together.

P.S. I just rewatched pulp fiction. Awesome.

[Cruxador]

I just noticed something...

I've never met an American accent I like

Even better, let's get Mexican!

Umm... what?

[Karnewarrior]

Wrong.  The stereotypes are completely different over here.  The Welsh Texans are singing farmers who do horrible things to sheep.  The Irish Californians are drunken, blonde headed people who love to fight.  The Scottish New Yorkers are also drunken, but are fat and dour as well.

See?  Totally different in terms of stereotypes.

We are not so different, you and I....

[Shad0wyone]

Hmm, I don't have an accent really, but I am Welsh, Scottish, Irish, English, Italian, Cherokee, possibly part Viking, and German, Russian, or both. I'm just a melting pot of Europe, with a splash of Native American.

American accent test

[Vester]

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland
 
"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big outhern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

Of course, I'm not from the USA, so this is probably irrelevant.

@Rowanas: What:

Scots = Dwarves
Cornish = Gnomes
Welsh = Animal-care takers humies
Northeners = Dark Dwarves
Big City people = High Elves
?

Oh yeah, Irish = Goblins/Kobolds (Either?)

This is because of my English is actually the official one, the BRITANNIA version!

Doing another test, I discovered I'm actually a Left Wing Libertarian.  Wow.  Didn't already know that one.

Pretty much, except I don't think that Care takers shove their &%*£ into the ^%&£ cavities of sheep. I dunno, I'm just assuming here.

WHOOT! Queen's english all the way.

[Leafsnail]

I discovered that my Welsh great great grandfather was nicknamed "The Ram".  The reason why is not nice.  I just hope it isn't hereditry.

Well, going to tell us?

[Rowanas]

Footkerchief, if you were aware of the Welsh stereotype, you would instantly understand the nickname.
