That's what I would have thought too BC! :-D I'm surprised to read that Ann has a west country accent, isn't it odd how we 'read' some members posts?

:-D :-D

I really don't mind any accent so long as its not overdone and becomes non understandable.

I find some a little hard like Glaswegian or northern Ireland, but hey Ho still OK.
Myself as I am originally from London I expect you would say I am a cockney.

Most of the filming in Towie from what I could see, was in Brentwood....In all the years I lived in that town....cannot say I have heard anyone speak like that, nor in any of the other Essex places I have lived and worked.

There a a few accent's I do not like...well they may grate on me a bit, but would not be so insulting as to say which ones on here
