    I don't even think its a question of the dialect grating. It's delivery.

    Example: Cheryl Cole sounds like fingernails down a blackboard. Sarah Millican makes me smile before the punch line.

    I'm with you on that one mate. Trouble is my wife is from the TOE and ANKLE. But her accent has smoothed to a ballymoney accent now. I quite like anything north of Glasgow.
