Underrated accent.

Oh yes, Scotch is quaint, Kiwi is quirky, but my favourite accent is Northern English. Like Scotch it works well with olde worlde words like 'yon' and 'thou'. It can sound very manly, for some reason, which gives Mr Thornton the edge over Mr Darcy. And some things sound much funnier, like in Chicken Run: "Ah doon't want to be in a paah, Ah doon't lahke greyveh;" ("I don't want to be in a pie, I don't like gravy") or in Cranford: "Ah doon lahke tooching ooders!" (I don't like touching udders")
