Of course accent discrimination is a thing. This is one reason many people from working class backgrounds say they feel out of place when they get into Oxbridge, etc. That’s just one example.

Astonishingly appalling but not surprising. I remember my sister wanted to take elocution lessons and as a kid I thought yeah that sounds like a good idea. Now when I start a new role and introduce myself I exaggerate my Yorkshire accent and always have my Yorkshire Tea mug on display

I've wondered about that since living in S Wales, pop over the hill from Cardiff to Caerphilly and the accent is totally different, Rhondda and Port Talbot are different but not massively so, another few miles and into Swansea and it's all change and again by the time you hit Llanelli.

I grew up in the South East and never really noticed much variation but it is there, perhaps less stark. Do you think that some variations stand out more to us than others? How is it that we can group a range of accents yet distinguish between them? We'll say (for example) an American accent yet the variations are huge, presumably its the same for them, there must be enough similarity between a Cockney and a Scouser for someone from another country to say they're both British yet to us they sound utterly different.

Maybe an East coaster could answer that. It will take a lot of vinegar though as Daddies sauce is radioactive.

No, I was being ridiculous! I don't hear it on the BBC often now, that's not a bad thing. I like hearing a wealth of accents, the diversity of people and their backgrounds. It shouldn't be the stronghold of those with privileged access to education - there's no guarantee someone is better educated because of historic connotations.

My accent does give me different treatment at times. It also invites disdain. Sometimes I play up to that. It shouldn't.

"I'm from Yorkshire and find it hilarious that people think we are stupid ??..... I had a londoner once think I was foreign, never understood why my accent isn't that broad. Maybe it's because I miss certain letters out of words when I'm talking."

Many letters in words are indeed optional. Who needs all the 'h' and 'e' sounds, when you can just go t'shop. No need to faff about going TO THE shop, etc. We northerners must save so much time by abbreviating our words

Getting up through the ranks it can be somewhat of a minor problem, think less so these days.

Never found it an issue through training, just the odd person cracking real funnies (not) about hubcaps etc, but lasted for a very short space of time.

But once you get up there it becomes a real asset.

Ejaculate in Yorkshire dialect translates to Hello Jack, you've failed to arrive on time again.

I'll never forget the time Sean Connery asked Amber Heard to "sit on the bed".
