Being born and bred in East London I hate.....

[Minstrel SE]

100%. I come from Manchester and I detest professional Mancunians. The Gallaghers are the most obvious ones, Burnage where they come from is nowhere near as rough as they make out. It's in south Manchester but Liam speaks with a north Manchester accent to sound harder.

Ian Brown too. He's from Altrincham and went to Altrincham Grammar but speaks like nobody else I know from Altrincham, which is considered fairly posh. Same goes for anybody famous from Bolton. Every one of them lays on the accent and the daft northener routine.

I suppose people just dislike it when they know it's phoney.

Yes you are bang on there. Ive done my tour of North and South Manchester and there are a lot of people egging it up to try and sound cool.

Ive always hated that thing with accents where people follow the crowd to be more Madchester than the next bod. I hate all that mad for it and our kid. Maybe I just dont like the Manchester accent or Im just a Cheshire mommies boy

If that Nigel Kennedy thing is true and I think it is.....its a mockney joke.
