answer:Accents can be strange and I think here in the UK we do seem to have so many that people will always find a few that annoy them. I think with me I pick up on ways that people in certain areas say things and focus on that whether it is a nice way, a funny way, or a strange way. I find that heavy accents can take a bit of getting used to and at first they can be exceptionally annoying as you have no idea what is being said, but after that I can often just let the annoyance pass me by and shut off my ears, but maybe because there are so many different accents around me they are just a minor irritation at times rather than anything worse.
