The northern accent, broad and unpretentious, conveys a feeling of honesty and common sense; in a way more simple, but more trustworthy than the sleek urbane dialects of the south.

Eh, Essex??

Not wishing to be pretentious, but it's "simpler" not "more simple".

Can't always get what you wish for, I guess. . Then I'd have to say 'Simpler, and more trustworthy'.

You may get understood if you have an accent similar to either:

James Mason
Hugh Grant
Cary Grant (albeit not typical English)
Laurence Olivier
Anthony Hopkins
John Gielgud
Richard Burton

Have a nice day

Graham

Many of the UK call centers were located up north for the reasons you mention.

No I just do the accent really well and have a healthy obsession for oatcakes and Wrights pies!!
