"Think of an accent you find appealing.  What makes it seductive and how can you describe its allure?"

Jo and I would click on the elves in that computer game.  Some game involving wars or building cities or something.  Let's call it WarCity!  We'd click on them and get them to say, "My liege?"

"My liege?"
"My liege?"
"My liege?"

Mmm.  Tenor tone, smooth.  
Was it also, maybe, the obedience?  :)

I used to like the Geordie accent - yes I did - but that was because I loved a Geordie.  Or, apparently a 'Maccam' (sp?), but whatever.  Obviously I don't like that accent any more.

Any other accent is probably good, because there's the otherness: unless it is tainted (as is 'Geordie') by negative associations.

Or, of course, an accent could be improved.

So yeah it's not the accent, it's the person speaking it.  (Once you've got to know them....)
