Why be a twep about it eh?
Britain does Not speak Cockney!
We speak English.
So, if a child is taught English in England, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, Northern Island, they lean Oxford English.....
You mean like "-chen" or "-l" in German?
What I would want to add to English is a distinction between "you" singular and plural (hoping that it doesn't turn into the sociological mess of Sie vs. du or vous vs. tu); Southerners recognize this and have "y'all" (singular) and "all y'all" (plural). New Yorkers will sometimes distinguish second person plural with "youse guys."
Y'all, is already plural ("you all"), so "all y'all" is outright ridiculous and makes the person sound like a half-wit.
Likewise, "you guys" is already plural. "Youse guys" is simply a way to communicate that you are a meat-head.

I have looked in the Oxford/Cambridge dictionary so many times
that I can't be bothered anymore.
I do understand scouse, geordie, cornish, brummie, scottish, welsh, celtic, and many other british accents.
After all britain was ving territory for a good while.
York and Newcastle is nearly still danish.
So I speak english as I please.
Do you understand ?

Although celtic is not an english accent, it's a group of languages including welsh, gaelic, cornish and irish.

Vikings where huge around Europe and all the way down and around the Volga, they stabilized trade and governments before the dark ages... but they adopted so easily the natives customs they all became watered down versions eg melted away.
I became a very good drinkingfellow, with a brummie acting as traindriver in the Lake District, while living there from 2nd.feb91 to aug.99.
good fun to be had with a mobile brummie !

The Vikings also founded the first non-native settlement in North America.
A few hundred years before the Portuguese came there for fishing.

Brummies are the friendliest people in England and it is easy to become one:
All you have to do is live in Birmingham and take the obligatory mickey out of Yam Yams.

indeed but the natives didn't remember them too much, the Portuguese are still remaining. seen 'Silent Souls’ 2012.. good film about old Viking traditions in modern Russia

Yes.
And and drive an Aston or Jensen Interceptor.
To a Villa vs. Anybody fight.
Aston Martin has bugger all to do with Birmingham or the Black Country.
They started in London and moved to Newport Pagnell.
Personally I hate Aston Villa. I'm ok with Birmingham City FC and support the Baggies.
