Mr Fox	Lyr Add: Roots (Show of Hands) (158* d)	RE: 'Roots' by Show of Hands	31 Jan 07
"Mr. Fox...the whole point your missing is that YOU speak in your local accent and are proud of it...which is wonderful! But there is NO DEVON ACCENT among our young people down here...because they nearly all speak Estuary English..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ They don't, you know. They speak 'mockney' or 'Ali G'. For myself, I speak south London with an overlay of north Kent and (thanks to a granddad from Tiptree) hints of rural Essex. As an accent, 'Estuary' exists about as much as 'American', which is to say not at all - or as a huge and hideous generalisation – and how would you like it if I lumped all West Country accents together as 'BBC Mummerset'?
