We’re having a wee bit of fun today. I’m having my American wife, Annie, blind react to accents from across the UK and Ireland. She’ll be doing her best to interpret these clips, and then she'll be giving them an honest rating of intelligiblily from a scale of 1-5 (with 1 being no problem at all to understand and 5 being similar to a foreign language). Let us know how you fair in the comments. Are any of these a challenge for you as well, and what accents did we miss?
