There's a post on the PF section where I brought this up. Hearing folk from the North East on TV or in media 'sweetening' shall we say, their accent. It sounds really off to me and massively noticable. I brought up a few examples there such as Mickey Gray when he's doing pundit work. It's hard to describe what it is but I guess the over pronouncing of certain words. I've always thought the Mackem accent is more clear than Geordie, whenever I've been abroad my accent is understandable anyway. Is this just me that notices this and grinds on me when I hear it?
