One of the things I love about this program is the proper Cockney/ Essex accents of Lee and Figure. Listen to young Cockneys/ Home Counties people nowadays and they sound slightly Jamaican/ Australian......WTF. I love old school Cockney accents and I am from Newcastle. Great band.

Matthew Hopkins Thanks for the reply. Interesting stuff about the old Essex accent having a more ‘rural’ sound. You are right about the accents up here. A proper Mackem accent( and it is‘nt nice I can tell you!) is completely different from a Newcastle accent. I suppose Micky Flanagan is the nearest you hear to a genuine Cockney accent on TV nowadays.

I'm a Cockney and love the Geordie accent. Regional accents fascinate and these fellas from deepest South East of Essex have that distinctive regional accent. Most of my family were originally from Essex. My younger brother still lives there. He does drive a Ford too. Essex folks used to make 'em. Have seen the likes of Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard and several others LIVE back in the day. Lee Brilleaux has to be the most dynamic Front Man of any band. Much missed.

Lee Brilleaux was a dynamic frontman, one of the very best. If you miss his voice put Ian Fawkes in the search box. You'll find a band called Route 66, close your eyes and Lee is nearly there. We're playing before them at Colne Blues Festival this year!

@@colinpumpernickel2605. It seems as though "they" don't cover the basics like they used too. When I was at school (& those generations before, were very well schooled in reading, writing, arithmatic, english, etc. So even, if someone like my husband, who left school at 15 years old, didn't take any exams ( "O" Levels, matric, etc) was excellent in the basics. I told him that he could have easily passed his exams if he had wanted to take them, but he said, it was not really offered to working class kids. Besides, back then you could get a good job & work your way up, by learning on the job. Some years ago, while working for a vet sciences firm, we advertised a job vacancy. We received, hundreds of applications, most had degrees from university, but the thing that shocked me, was how poorly they had filled out the application. There were loads of spelling mistakes (of quite simple words), terrible hand writing, bad grammar, etc, etc. I was shocked to see these graduates didn't get to grips with the basics! What happened ? Who didn't teach them this stuff, while at junior school ? It is really odd & rather shocking?
