Why do so many people still think all UKEnglanders speak as if they were playing a scene from Mary Poppins or My Fair Lady, selling flowers at Covent Garden market?

Perhaps it comes from growing up listening to Dick Van Dyke's atrocious imitation of a cockney.

Cockney is an atrocious accent.

It turns out that Dyke's accent was spot-on exact, and there's some defensiveness at play in the disparagement
