ORIGINAL: mugwump i used to have quite a 'thing' for saaaaf laandaaan, but now give me a nice, neutral accent or a deep scottish one and i'm a happy, happy girl. Not sure about cutest but Londoners get my vote for loudest accent in the world. I've lost count of the number of times I've been abroad and feeling far from home when a booming London voice has filled the air with "what d'you mean there's no facking chips?!" from about 5 miles away. Cutest = North East English girls i.e. the proper North East - Durham, Sunderland, Newcastle, Northumberland. South Wales girls also worth a mention as are South Scottish girls but some of the Scottish accents are harsh, particularly Glasgow and Dundee, and it doesn't help when you can't understand a word they're saying. Irish girls although I think they'd be more than slightly disappointed with being described as Brits.
