Ran a survey to rate UK accents in relation to their business appeal.
79% of business people thought a strong regional accent was a disadvantage.
77% believes that Home Counties accents are generally successful.
Followed by American (75%), Scottish (65%), continental European accent (52%) and Indian or Asian accents (25%).
Scottish was the only successful regional accent, 43% said they were successful, 40% hardworking and reliable, 31% trustworthy.
Liverpool's scouse was the worst, 15% believed them to be successful, 9% hardworking and 8% trustworthy.
Cockney was thought to be successful but not trustworthy.
Geordie was thought to be warm and caring
Indian and Asian accents are hardworking and reliable
