it's called social linguistics - a few accents and or dialects are overt prestige whilst most of the rest are covert prestige.

Unfortuntaley we are all judged on our accents and especially dialects.

As posted already there have been a fair few 'strong' accents/dialects in the house.

Freddie certainly has one of the thickest accents/dialects in there.
