It’s very hard to find someone who speaks without accent in my Country, even the President of Republic of Italy doesn’t speaks with a neutral accent. Nevertheless there is a snobbery about regional accents, especially if someone speaks with a very strong accent and use some regional construction to formulate a sentence.
I wasn’t completely aware about this issue in UK. I read about working class in London, that speaks Cokney, but I didn’t know that this issue was source of discrimination in different part of UK.
P.S. Hi Kerin, I don’t know what happened. I wrote before on word pad and then I copied. I hope it’s OK now.

Thanks Kerin for your review. I’ve corrected my writing.

Two weeks ago I went to the beach with a friend of mine. He said to me “Do you fancy a cheeky tour by boat?”. I was so chuffed about this idea and I said “Yes, of course!”
We took a bloody beautiful tour by boat around the coast in the early evening. We paid 50 pound for the tour and also a tenner for grub. Grub was bollocks but the tour was the bee’s kneens.
During the tour it was possible to swim. I don’t like to swim in high seas, anyroad I did it!
My friend took the piss out of me about my fear of high sea and so I jumped quickly on the sea but with my bloody expensive eyeglasses. When I realized it, I threw instinctively the glasses on the boat. I was so jammy because the glasses finished directly in the hand of my friend! He said “ Alright?” I said “Well, ta. This swim is the dog’s bollocks of my life”.
After a few minutes a dolphin went by me and my friend didn’t see him. He said to me “You are pissed. It’s not true!”. Sometimes he is absolutely cheeky but I was so chuffed about this experience that I said “You are two sandwiches short of a pic nic, you need my eyeglasses”.
