# Not to get into an argument or anything over it,
but I don't see how speaking in a North London accent, as he did, and as is his normal accent, makes it mockneyed up at all. It's just one of those things that annoys me. Someone with a regional accent from anywhere else never seems to get pilloried in the same way.

# Justin Bloody Lee Bloody Collins
I mean - really.

I saw him before he was famous*, and he did an ace, ace, ACE stand-up gig at my local in Zummerzet.

His accent wasn't even that thick then, and that was well before was on telly.

# Oh I don't doubt that at all.
His accent seems so forced it's untrue. But he still doesn't seem to get the same abuse as others.

# Well that's prolly 'cos people take it as a given that he's a bit of a twat, as he doesn't try to be "cool".

# Yes, Brummie, Scouse and Yorkshire accents are all well-respected in the media

# Sorry, I didn't explain myself properly.
I just take issue with the mockney thing, but I guess that is mainly because I'm a lahndahner innit :D
