Of course, everybody who speaks in an 'organic' way can.. Though Tony Blair CAN speak RP, and does on most occassions... It is only when he goes to Sedgefield what, once a year, that he changes, or when he goes to an east London school...
Nothing permanent.
I suppose Tony Blair speaks estuary really...

I never knowingly change my accent, unless I'm trying to mimic South African :p: but ja, you are right...

Okay, we all have an accent we most hate, what is yours?
Before I can vote, I need to know the accents of Russel Crowe. Alec Guiness, Michael Caine, Richard Burton and David Niven
I really can't take the Cornish and Bristol accents....seems like your overstressing and singing the words..not to be offensive...

You missed out West country, and Norfolk/suffolk...my personal hated accent is Norfolk, followed by west country......I think i would replace sunderland with teeside(darlington, m'boro type accent), sunderland is too like geordie....

Oh yeah, adn North Wales is totally different to south wales...theres too many accents!
