I think you have demonstrated what I believe. Leicester doesn't have a accent at all, it is more a case of how we say words and/or how we adapt them. It is not so much the way we speak or the rhythm and tonality, it is more slang based.

Noworramean?

There’s definitely an accent. Different between Leicester and North West Leicestershire.

hate the bristol, brummie, geordie, welsh, yorkshire, scottish and scouse accents.

I feel like the Leicester accent is much more noticeable in women. My sister is common as muck

Not a popular one but the New Zealand accent really grates on me . I can’t cope with the mangling of vowels .

 

I have a work colleague who introduces himself as Bin Spintzah 

 

I have a slightly 'savvern' accent and as I mentioned earlier, was teased when I came to school in Leicester. But in addition to London, I was also schooled in Canada...and New Zealand, which is about as southern as it gets. Kids were utterly bemused when we returned to the UK.

Anything southern apart from like bristol I hate. Like Yorkshire, can never make my mind on Scouse, Geordies get in the bin.

I quite like the Welsh and Southern Ireland. 
 

I dislike Liverpool, West Midlands and Scottish. 

Scots have a few regional accents. Glaswegian is hard and unpleasant for the most part. Edinburgh, Eastern Scotland and the borders are quite soft and lilting as are the accents in the far north.

South african really annoys me.

You're forgetting THE WORST Scottish accent there is... The Glasgow Uni Accent. Essentially when the lassie that grew up on the same street as you your whole life does 2 and a half years of a psychology course at Strathclyde and now talks with this weird posh over exaggerated accent that no one else in her family has.
