Graham Paddons Beard 2,471 Posted August 10, 2021 Has anyone seen an advert for Sky Bet ? Jeff Stelling and co telling about special offers . But During the advert , a lady goalkeeper catches a yellow and green flower , and she is wearing a yellow and green tracksuit . She appears to be saying “I hope we avoid the drop” which I assume is meant to be a reference to us . However The accent used for “I hope we avoid the drop” is , I would hazard a guess somewhere west of Bristol! Why do all tv folk think they can use some kind of generic rural accent ? Us East Anglian’s don’t all sound like we come from Zummmersett do we? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coneys Knee 1,006 Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) Really grates on me how everybody (outside of Norfolk) seems to think the Norfolk accent is like that of somewhere in the south west. Plain lazy. Edited August 10, 2021 by Coneys Knee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham Paddons Beard 2,471 Posted August 10, 2021 Here is a still … currently on Eurosport. It is pathetic . A real p1sstake . I thought Benny Hill accents had been consigned to the rubbish bin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reminds me of a game many years back where Birmingham City fans thought they were being hilariously funny singing: "Ooh Aah, it's Ambrosia" to us (to the tune of Go West).

cambridgeshire canary 6,881 Posted August 10, 2021 I mean it did give me a chuckle. More of an annoyed chuckle, but a chuckle. It's supposed to be funny, don't take it so seriously Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
