Come to think of it, if they did a serious veg gardening programme, perhaps
they *would* use a northern accent - northerners being perceived as thrifty,
hard-working wo/men of the soil as opposed to the flighty southerners
worrying about their pelargoniums. ;-)

yes but then the presenter would wear a flat cap,have a pet whippet
and all episodes would be made in torrential rain. The oblig. pigeon
loft would be in the background along with the washing strung across
the street to dry.
