Russell Crowe has been criticised for his accent in his new Robin Hood film: he seems to be the slightly touchy sort, and got annoyed when an interviewer suggested he'd used cod Irish rather than cod Tyke in his performance.

Now, has anyone who would (a) know a Yoksher accent from a horse's fart seen the film?

or (b) got any interesting ideas about what accent Robin Hood (assuming he existed) would really have had? OK it was Middle English, but would it have been more like the present Yoksher or Nottamun accent, or like American (if so what sort), or even Jamaican or Mexican...?
