Subject: RE: Singing in Different Accents/Dialects
'Innit' I love it Eliza. My Dad used to call it "aincha, carncha and woancha"

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The correct form of any language is that which is spoken in the Capital City. This of course makes Cockney, standard English. If you don't sing your songs in Cockney, the YOU are the ones putting on an accent.

So most of you are putting on an accent all the time. So get over it and sing the bloody songs.

And if you come from America and want to sing British Workman's Grave, then go to it. Us Cockneys will be delighted.
