Subject: RE: BS: Rant... why don't people speak properly?
I kind of like the Fake-Jamaic accent that's taking hold in the young of England. I also like the cut-glass English of 1950s films, and real heartland Cockney. A favourite sequence in a film is the one where Sting (I think it is) speaks to his film son in Cockney criminal slang in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
