    For me it's the Drogheda accent. It's terrible. Absolutely horrible. But so funny. I pity people with that accent. I crack up laughing when I hear it.

    Talking to a bloke from "Dwaawwda" yesterday and he saw someone on the TV and goes "Oowh, oi dun loike him, hee wamiynds mee a moy ex, especially de beeawd" - translation - "Oh, I don't like him, he reminds me of my ex, especially the beard" I burst out with laughter. Another time in Mcdonalds, a Drogheda fella working there shouted for more hamburgers "MAW HAMBAWGAWS" and a few people were laughing at him and shouting maw hambawgaws at him...... Hehe. Maw.

    Yuck!

    So what do you think is the worst accent in Ireland? Or even anywhere else in the world.

    Vincent Browne held a competition in 2002 (I think), while he was standing in for Pat Kenny on Radio 1 during Pat's holidays one summer to find the worst accent in Ireland. I believe the winner was the accent from Ardee, Co Louth.

    Definitely the Dublin accent. Also the Midlands (?) one. I was shocked when I watched an episode Pure Mule.

    I hate Aussie accents. They sound, I dunno, so forced and drawling. Like they're choking on something...and I have a load of Aussie relatives who would kill me for saying that but its true!

    Ardee/Dunleer accent. Much worse than the Drogheda accent.

    I can't understand what they are saying!

    Has to be Drogheda

    Just listen the likes of Steve Staunton as an example, many others from the area have that long drawn out accent

    I do like the way they say "bewk" instead of book though :)
