- dundarious 4y agoBeing from nearby, and born in the 80s, I can say that these accents are still common nowadays. However, they were far less common on TV than they were in the population then, and the same is true now. I suppose Eddie Dempsey and Mick Lynch are the most prominent people on TV nowadays who have non-"TV accents".
