Subject: RE: BS: Why is the Geico Gekko a Brit?
Jan, born in London, who has seen those commercials several times, confirms that the gecko's accent is, in fact, Cockney.

She's also seen the Estaban commercial quite a few times. Anonny Mouse is, unsurprisingly, oversimplifying. She says Estaban says his guitar is modelled on the Martin quoted, especially in appearance--but he makes no claims for quality of sound to compare with the Martin.
