I've no problem with the BBC having "correct" accents, I can't think of anything worse than a newsreader/ presenter with a broad Scouse, Brummie, Geordie, etc accent.

and that's comes from someone born and bred in Liverpool.

Another accent I hate, I can only describe it as Generic female middle clasee southern accent, where there is a little croak in the voice to. Goes through me like nails on a black board.
