What did he have before that?

It's the London accent popularly called Jafaican because the user is not Jamaican and has never been there.

I've wondered that. So many kids get into their teens and then drop their family / local accent and start following the trend, looks like Abz just stuck with it until it became his normal speech pattern.
You find it outside London too. There are lads on bikes who hang about outside my Tesco Express who talk like that...in a rural village miles from London. ![]() |

Its the accent of a sub culture. He is perfectly entitled to use it.

I don't think anyone's suggesting he's not entitled yto you use it. For instance I'm going to be a Scouser until mid-November, do Somerset up to Christmas and then convert to BBC received pronunciation for the New Year. |

A few contestants on Jeremy Kyle seem to have that accent too.

No I wasn't describing a pick and mix lets choose an accent. The one he has is a living accent in the circles he moves in and socialises with. In that sense its pretty organic not forced.
