Looks like another British accent is going to be butchered in a film again.

Dales welcomes Margot Robbie for movie shoot

I wonder if she will get the accent right. I couldn't work out where Russel Crow's version for Robin Hood was from. Supposedly he based it on the the Barnsdale accent, which is an area between Doncaster an Pontefract. Contrary to the belief that Robin Hood is from Nottingham. Many historians believe he was from Yorkshire and only was in Sherwood during his dealing with the Sheriff of Nottingham.

I get fed up of the Cornish accent getting butchered. I like Beyond Paradise but it can be a bit painful to the ears  ::)

Probably not as painful as Dick Van Dyke's cockney accent in Mary Poppins. Though he did have the excuse that the speech coach that was hired was Irish.
