In England there are very heavy accents especially in the north,which make it hard for me an Englishman from the south east to understand what people are saying.
However my wife has the same problem in Thailand as there are regional variations in accents also.
The U.S has the same I would assume.

Hey Mat, you should try the Black Country around Dudley or Blackheath. Then there is Devon or Dorset in the southwest or Norfolk in the east.

Unfortunately due to modern transport and communications, regional (or even district ) dialects are gradually fading away.
