[quote="BBC News"][b]The Cockney accent will disappear from London's streets within 30 years, according to new research.[/b]
A study by Paul Kerswill, Professor of Sociolinguistics at Lancaster University shows the Cockney accent will move further east.
In London, Cockney will be replaced by Multicultural London English - a mixture of Cockney, Bangladeshi and West Indian accents - the study shows.
[i]"It will be gone within 30 years,"[/i] says Prof Kerswill.
The study, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, says the accent ,which has been around for more than 500 years, is being replaced in London by a new hybrid language.
The new accent, known in slang terms as 'Jafaican', is most famously spoken by rap star [b]Dizzee Rascal[/b].[/quote]
In short, everyone in London will speak like that Twat Dappy, and an accent will die along with countless British Stereotypes. No more "Shine your shoes guv'nah".

On a related note, Killing Floor will be a historical re-enactment. Loads-a Money!

You'll sadly have to look for Dizzy Rascal and N-Dubs videos. Sorry about that.

Well, you could, make fun of, the Jeremy, Clarkson, Accent, where, you pause, in the middle, of all your sentences...

..in the world.
It's awful how we are losing regional Sterotypes in Britain.
It's like they don't want people to hate each other any more.
The accent may die, but the stereotype will live on.
Well actually it says it's just dying in London and moving further east, but whatever.

What makes you think Americans are dominant? We could all be speaking Chinese in 100 years.

To be a pilot you have to speak english
to be a doctor, you have to speak english.
To speak english, 90% of the time you'll get an american teacher who wants to travel the world. That's why immigrants imitate american accents.

Could we please adjourn this meeting of the ass committee?
Think back to the first time you ever heard of ass. At first glance ass may seem unenchanting, however its study is a necessity for any one wishing to intellectually advance beyond their childhood. While much has been written on its influence on contemporary living, spasmodically it returns to create a new passion amongst those who study its history. It still has the power to shock the aristocracy, obviously. Relax, sit back and gasp as I display the rich tapestries of ass.
Society is a simple word with a very complex definition. When Lance Bandaner said 'twelve times I've traversed the ocean of youthful ambition but society still collects my foot prints' [1] he was clearly refering to the impact of ass on today's society. A child’s approach to ass is quite good.
Our post-literate society, more than ever before, relies upon ass. Society is powered by peer pressure, one of the most powerful forces in the world. As long as peer pressure uses its power for good, ass will have its place in society.
There has been a great deal of discussion in the world of economics, centred on the value of ass. We will begin by looking at the Fish-Out-Of-Water model of economics.

As you can see, the higher the wage, the bigger the ass.

It's all blending together in the future we will all sound the same. In lancashire everyone speaks a soft yorkshire-lancashire hybrid.
Years ago you could tell where someone was from in less than a 20 mile radius or even narrow it down to a specific town just from how they spoke
Dappy needs to be executed, such a fucking annoying little prick.
English will be the official language of Earth in a few hundred years, that's just how it's working. Even China (Who you guys think as a superpower) teaches students English at a young age.
Cockney is bloody fabby accent

Why couldnt it be the scouse accent?
YORKSHIRE FOREVER, LAD
:britain:
I hope the "Southern" accent disappears, soon. It just sounds annoying in my opinion. I live in the South, but I talk like a normal person. A lot of people in my area do, too. (Near New Orleans.)

I wouldn't want to have an accent that makes people think of someone who looks like this.
Fortunately I'm an American, so I don't have to.
I hate the cockney accent, and this "jafaican" accent.
Though as long as neither spread North, I don't really care.
British English needs to die completely.
