The letter "R" and cockneys ?

same with london rappers and lisps!!!!!

Southern English (except the south-west) is what's called by linguists a non-rhotic accent so R's before or after vowels are usually not pronounced (see the difference between someone from Bristol saying 'carrrrr' and someone from London saying 'cah'). The Jonathan Ross type inability to say R's and make them sound like W's is a separate, actual recognised speech impediment called Rhotacism but is more common in speakers of non-rhotic accents.

A speech impediment would not affect such a large percentage of a population, surely?

I have a problem with "s", slurring it, but it does not affect a large % of Mancs.

I'm sure a large % of Mancs have had problems with slurring this Xmas.
