14. Someone told me
That her accent is a fake. I don't know if it's true or not; but I have noticed on several occasions, that she'll pronounce something oddly...using unusual inflection or lengthening/shortening vowel sounds in a way that is not characteristically British.

It makes me wonder...

26. Could be a regional variation of a British accent.
They vary widely throughout the country.

19. Yes! I had a woman doctor who was Scot, and I was in love with her voice!
I found myself asking her more and more questions, just to hear talk. I was absolutely thunderstruck by her.

Something about a Scottish dialect that rounds out the syllables and just sounds so damn pleasant and bubbly.

:loveya:

24. Agreed
Even though to an extent they all sound grouchy all the time (but then again it's been my experience most the Scots I know ARE grouchy all the time :D), it's still dead sexy. ;)

22. Irish, especially Kildare!
You ought to hear what the Kildare girls do to the word "y'all."

Slightly OT: The most frequent reply by an American to anything that is said by anybody from the County Down:

"What?"

33. Eastern European ...
No contest. I've gone out with a couple of local guys on my visits to Eastern Europe, and they have the best accents of all. They make me weak in the knees. Well, I'm half Eastern Euro myself, so it probably stirs my ancient familial blood.

Chauvenistic as hell, but also sexy as hell.

You can see why all the womens just stick their necks right out when a Transylvanian vampire comes to bite them. Rrrrrooooowwwwww!

Russian, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Romanian, Croatian, Ukranian ... yummy!

I mean, can you BEAT the accent on ER's Goran Visnjic? I mean ... did you HEAR him reciting the soliloquy from Hamlet in Croatian? OMG. TOO sexy.
