Subject: RE: Singing with Irish Accent - Why!!?
What's all this rubbish about a "cockney accent".

For those who don't know, Cockney is the language spoken by the people of the City of London. London is the capital city of England.

England is where the English language comes from. Therefore Cockney is the DEFINITIVE version of the English Language. Same as Parisian French is the definitive version of the French language.

So Cockney therefore is NOT an accent. If you don't speak Cockney then it's YOU WHO HAS THE BLEEDIN' ACCENT MUSH.
