I have always been fascinated with accents so what is your take on this fella? He leaves out the Manchester accent but he does Scottish, Geordie, Scouse, Yorkshire, Birmingham and a couple of different London variations and few more I'm leaving out. Being yank I can't really judge but he gets pretty good feedback. He's a "right twat" but I'm curious to hear what you all think.

I can pick a Manc accent from anywhere, but the others just sound like 'English' accents to me.
There is no real regional variance in Australian accents, just normal and bogan I suppose.

Oh, and that guy is a dead ringer for the Numa guy:

Growing up in suburban Texas I don't have an accent but my parents do. My aunt moved to Melbourne when she was young and married an Australian and had two kids. So I have two cousins that are Australian and once every few years they would come back to Texas for Christmas and you could just see how bewildered they were! Great people though. One settled down in Austin and the other married an Australian and moved back to Melbourne.
