Oh, and has anyone noticed how teenage kids nowadays laugh like dorks? When I was that age, I never heard anyone sound like that.

but I went back to sixth form college a couple of years ago as a mature student, and there were quite a few with the student accent, which doesn't make sense because they were local and i can assure you that they sounded nothing like an 'ull accent.

Check up on the work of David Rosewarne. Use of double negatives, pronunciation taken from the north leading to a weakening of standart accents and a birth of Esuary English...
'aint got none' and 'writ', non standard uses of tenses...
a generation of grammatical retards!

The accent is a mix between Hollyoaks, One Tree Hill and Jeremy Kyle.
