People with strong accents, geordies, scousers etc. do very well in service type jobs, because they come across as approachable and friendly. Your average Joe will feel much more at home sharing a joke with someone that sounds like they've just stepped out of Brookside than someone who has just stepped off the set of Made in Chelsea.

Of course, if you're going to be serving champagne and tea cakes in first class thats a different matter.
