I can't comment on the Poppins film ( never seen it :oops: ) , but we always start singing when Bedknobs and Broomsticks is shown. Bobbing along............

Well - you can't beat a good sing along. I'm a Chim Chiminey Cherrooist myself, although I can suddenly veer into Supercaleyfragelisticism on a whim and it only takes the sight of a pigeon eating a couple slices of Milanda to bring out the Tuppence-a-Baggery in me.

Worst Accent? Has to be Gerard Butler, and he isn't even acting.

Fluent in arse.

I know some people were critical of Brad Pitt in the film 'Snatch'.
The Irish accent he was meant to have just didn't impress critics and others.

Julia Roberts was criticised for same reasons in films 'Mary Reilly' and other film about Michael Collins.

Obituary Nosher Powell

I think he always played the same part as a cockney but he should have taught Dick Van Dyke.


"I before E, except after C" works in most cases but there are exceptions.
