Avila advert

[Grandma_Yiddo]

What accent is Paul Whitehouse doing in the latest Aviva advert?

[factor-fiction]

Is he trying to a Leslie Phillips accent?

[Grandma_Yiddo]

I thought a northern accent of some sort

[factor-fiction]

He does a Leslie Phillips voice in one I've sen this week but maybe there area few versions of the ad. I recall one with a northern accent (sounding a bit like cricket commentator David Lloyd)- I'll listen more carefully next time it's on

[Grandma_Yiddo]

The one I mean is where his metal detector leads him to a cowpat

[jackthehat]

East Lancashire........Rossendale Valley area, I reckon.

I come from a village between Bolton and Blackburn originally and I don't recognise it. Thank you all for your input.

You don't mean the one where he's dressed as a goth? that's clearly Welsh.
