Think of a darts player (wearing two kilos of gold) and whoever it is saying "Do you want to buy it now" and prompted, just now, by some other Landan git, on a property search programme.....
Are they born with different 'voice boxes', or is it something they practice, and maybe assisted by forty B&Hs per day?
Either way, and whatever, but it's bloody annoying!
I'm a Londoner, I'm not a "git" as you put it and I haven't got a stupid, gravelly cockney accent either Having said that a thick cockney accent is rather grating and even I hate it.

Bobby George isn't from London, he's from a town called Halstead, though he's just outside Colchester in the north of Essex now.
I promise ya, most of us don't talk like that. It's as annoying to most Londoners as it is to everyone else.

I'm from Yorkshire (North Yorks) but how I detest the worst of South Yorks (laughable) and the ugliness of much of West Yorks!
My son's girl, and family, are from Birmingham but are, in fact, very 'posh'!
It really is quite ridiculous, how there can be such a difference in accents, on such a small island, with that to include our Welsh, Scottish and Irish neighbours!
Have to ponder if, with any other European countries, there are such regional disparities!
Yeah...I guess it's the same everywhere!I'm from Yorkshire (North Yorks) but how I detest the worst of South Yorks (laughable) and the ugliness of much of West Yorks!My son's girl, and family, are from Birmingham but are, in fact, very 'posh'!It real

I spent 5 years in Liverpool, then 5 years in the Black Country. How weird is that? It is true. Dooodlay, woooolvramptin etc, and no-one has ever travelled even as far as Birmingham.

I don't mind the traditional cockney accent, it has a certain charm.
What I can't stand is the chavvy youth accent, esp when its white kids trying to sound black. CRINGGGGE FEST

Another Londoner signing in. Don’t mind the cockney accent myself if it’s kosher but it’s the mockneys I can’t stand. Lee Mack does a great cockney accent sketch.
