I learned english with irish people and they had an accent that was hard to understand at 1st.
Then in Australia, the accent is very different and of course there are variations inside the countries.
I didn't go to Scotland yet and i know the accent is quite strong.
I was formtunate to meet all kinds of different people (canadian, kiwis, americans, english, irish, scottish...) and I love the differences there are.
Btw, I love the welsh accent.

How about their place names, eh?

Aberystwyth for example. Tongue tied here.

Llancynfelyn ?

You win, that's the worst. I would have trouble traveling there.

All of those are Gaelic, Celtic in origin, which explains their bizarre sounds and spellings.

Some if not most of the road signs in Wales are in English too. Llanfairpwllgwyngyll is the longest name in the world still.

In a similar way

Westward Ho! is the only place with an exclamation mark at the end.

Cornwall has it's own language too.
