While (fortunately) accent snobbery is dying out, so (unfortunately) are the accents themselves. Many people south of Watford now speak a sort of multicultural London dialect which I call 'Innit'. Lee Nelson's Well-Good Show is excellent, he speaks 'Innit' really well and makes me die laughing. But I'm worried that the nuances of different accents and dialect vocabulary are being lost, so folk songs sung in the appropriate way, even by non-native speakers, are maybe a good thing. Wouldn't it be strange if, twenty years from now, all folk events were presented by earnest singers performing in broad Innit?
