How can he hail from Manchester yet have a Cockney accent? His sister Daphne has a Manc accent yet the producers couldn't figure out Simon have a Manc accent, too? How can you be so ignorant?
shareLeeves is a cockney too. The fella who plays Martin, who IS from Manchester, helped her with the accent.
shareWe're talking about Daphne here. She hails from Manchester.
shareLeeves is the actress, dipshit. She's from London.
shareName calling makes you really mature.
Daphne is from Manchester. She has a Manc accent. Leeves plays a character from Manchester. Simon is her brother who can't have a Cockney accent. It's not complicated.
I was simply adding a bit of trivia. Get over yourself.
shareI am not British so I can't tell about those accents, but what are the accents of her parents?
Daphne was from Manchester, that does not mean her family lived there from the beginning, her parents could be from different places and have different accents, they might have influenced their children in different ways.
