Not a chance. Estuary English (Thames estuary that is) is the new acceptable, in a way a Teesside accent never will be. When somebody as posh as Beth Rigby (daughter of a headmistress, Cambridge university education) is doin' it, you know it's well on the way to being the new normal.

There's videos on youTube teaching foreigners how to do it.

Alex always makes me chuckle. How can anyone not like her?

So he can't stand Alex Scott's "very noticeable inability to pronounce her 'g's".

He needs to be more concerned about his own very noticeable inability to say no to a jam donut.
