A question all my participants were asked during my questionnaire was what features of an accent appealed to them and why, many of these answers included specifications that could be seen to fit the criteria of the Geordie accent. This is supported by another piece of research by ComRes (2013), however in this one it was concluded that Geordie is the second most friendly accent in the United Kingdom (the Devonshire accent was first but however is not included in my data.) These answers my participants gave on what makes an accent desirable included that if it ‘sounds different’, ‘sounded fun’, ‘welcoming’ and ‘gentle’ they were more attracted to someone’s accent. It could also be speculated that part of the reason for the Geordie accent being so favourable is due to the external exposure my participants have to the accent through the incredibly popular television series Geordie Shore. If I was to eliminate the Geordie accent from the data, it would leave Heightened Received Pronunciation and BBC English as the top two accents in this category which would therefore match my hypothesis.
