The major pronunciation difference I notice between north and south England are words like graph, staff, bath, laugh....

I would pronounce the 'a's as an 'are' sound, but many pronounce the 'a's as you would in math(s).

Yeah, I say the middle thing there as I would in "bat" or "pad".

Whereas southerners say it as in "halve" or "march".

They are just trying to be posh.

Only as much far as you're just trying to be common.

The southern accent isn't an affectation, just like the northern accent isn't. We can't help the way we talk any more than you can.

Come to the East of England where, in charming local fashion, the letter "t" has disappeared from usage. It's been replaced with the underrated gluttol stop.

Water - Wor'er.

Long as it's not that Old English or Middle English.

Those 2 involve way too much spitting.
