Inner London accent

[Red_is_best]

As spoken, for example, by Clinton Morrison on Sky ( or Skaay). I understand this way of speaking was created by young people over the last 15 years or so, but have no idea why it was or what it’s based on.

It’s normal for languages and accents to evolve like this, but why is it so beloved by the media? So many continuity announcers and so many advert voice-overs use it. Is it becoming the predominant accent? If so, why is that?

Isn’t that at the extreme end of the accent’s spectrum? Thinking Joe Swash - bloody awful accent IMO

I was working with a guy who talked like that last year he openly liked his cannabis I asked him was where he was from and his said brambles farm I was flabbergasted. I mentioned it to my daughter and she said the lads in her secondary school who also like the gear talk like that as well. I have to say it's awful.

Completely went over, blew back in the wind again and was still ****. Sill circling in the air somewhere, shame really

Well maybe, but that wouldn’t explain why this accent is so popular, seemingly dominant in the media?

Such an odd thing to say. Please list percentage of said accent vs 'other accents'. Popular = what?. 'the media'

Oh please behave yourself. You are so intent on trying to find something that isn’t there. Do you look for empirical evidence and anal evidence every time an observation is made, or question asked, out of interest? What exactly are you trying to say?

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

It’s not dominant, is it?

 

[Borehamwood_Boro]

'please behave' . Austin powers isn't it?

'anal evidence'

Think I'm out of this one, killed yourself!

 

[Red_is_best]

It a wider sense, perhaps not- probably not. But within a snapshot, maybe. I did caveat with ‘seemingly’ - I guess I meant ‘to me’

Without answering the question. Ok, whatever bru

Talking ***** basically.

Can’t help yourself can you, poor thing. In your words, I’m out on this one

Out out? Or just merely out?
