Bah, you speak that bastardised dialect known as "Australian English".
Have you heard me speak? :biggrin:

No, but I enjoy being presumptuous.

The milder form of the accent (such as I have), is, yes. But the extreme part-cockney, part-carribean, part-asian, part-chav farrago that constitutes the most abect extremes of Estuary carry with them social disdain that was once the preserve of extreme northern or cockney accents.



That isn't Estuary English then. That's just local weird accents.

Despite its name, EE is spoken all over the country, like. Certainly more prevelant in the south east, but it's fairly regionless.

Chav speak (as originated in Chatam) that prevails amongst the working class population of London, Essex and Kent is Estuary, just very extreme.
Yes, it's derided, but it isn't Estuary English.

Well, I am constantly picking my mum up, not the oher round. So that's OK. :smile:
