SOMERSET - we've always known we sound good right?
Who doesn't love the lingering tones of The Wurzels?
Well grab your cider for a toast, because now the rest of the UK agrees with us.
A new online survey by YouGov Daily has found that the West Country accent is the fourth most attractive accent in the UK.
YouGov asked people which UK accent they found most attractive from a set of options.
The Scottish brogue topped the charts, receiving 20 per cent of the votes, next in with 18 per cent was received pronunciation (or a BBC accent), then the Welsh accent which had 11 per cent of the votes, the West Country accent had 10 per cent of the votes, Northern Ireland had eight per cent, Mancunian had three per cent, and both the Essex and Brummie accents had one per cent each.
According to the poll, 29 per cent of voters couldn't make their mind up.
What do you think?
Is there another UK accent you find most attractive?
