walshie 2,804 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Don't doubt it mate, but everyone on that show thinks if you say "fanks" instead of "thanks" it make you a cockney. Poor jocks will just have mockney accents. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

marshman 7,758 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 I tried telling a joke in a Scottish accent the other day. When I'd finished this bloke said " I'm fcuking useless at accents , every time I try to do a Scottish accent I sound like a fcuking Pakistani " I said " you need more practice - jamal " Quote Link to post Share on other sites
