He never had a northern manc accent himself and spoke more like someone from Oxford or Cambridge so maybe he wanted to try and see how that accent felt in his mouth.Im thinking why in " The Queen is dead " does Morrissey put a real northern accent on the line "dressed in your Mothers bridal veil"
and why is it going round in my head all day !!
As for accents they are being extinct here in Sweden as more and more people erase the accent revealing where they come from. I love accents but I can understand how young people moving to the big city for some job try and melt in and therefor choose to abandon their old local accent.
The national swedish without any kind of accent is spoken in Nyköping, a place steeped in old tradition and more or less should be our capitol instead of Stockholm. My dad lived there for a number of years with some woman and he took her and her female friends to Spain where he had a cart he used to go to the store and pick up more wine.
Strangely I never met her, sorry about the side story.
