Yeah, I have to repeat my question. Which English accent have they picked up? You can tell where someone is from in England to within a radius of 50 miles by their accent

You really think a bunch of Kiwis are gonna know English accents down to the county?
Even the dumbest troll can tell the difference between Received Pronunciation (what King Big-Ears and BBC newsreaders speak) and a regional accent, I'm going to guess these kids aren't speaking RP. I couldn't tell you the difference between Scouse and Brummie, but I could sure as hell tell you the difference between Geordie and Somerset yokel. Even as simple as: "do they sound like they're off Coronation Street, Emmerdale or EastEnders"?

Cool. Why are you asking down to fifty miles then?
My God, the hostility for asking a simple question out of curiosity.

"My neighbour's got a dog"
"Really, what kind of dog?"
"HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW DO I LOOK LIKE A DOG BREEDER?!? WHY ARE YOU ASKING FOR PEDIGREE FORMS AND DNA SWABS?!?"

I am just amazed that there are apparently some people who don't seem to know that there is no "English accent", there are literally hundreds which are very different from one another, I would have been satisfied with an answer like "Northern", "London", or "Posh".
