Listening to Lucy and Roifield last week bemoaning the departure of Vicky and Hayley made me think: Why have all the Birmingham accents been purged from Ambridge. Those two plus Jack Woolley sadly gone. Also, even the yorkshire-accented policeman is hardly ever heard from. We’re left with a parade of posh boys, whiny posh girls, and the occasional yeoman yokel. It really is a much more bland listen than it used to be, and harder to tell people apart.
