FYI this is what a current English youth sounds like. Good luck getting published.

I refuse to associate him with the rest of the UK.

Unfortunately I, as well as several other TAs, have noticed a growing trend among posters from England. They all have terrible English, and I'm not the first to notice. Just browse the Music Discussion section for a bit, you'll get it

So tell me. How long have you waged this personal war against punctuation?

If you want a true British accent/dialect... good luck, doesn't exist. Guv is and always has been used in a specific area of a single city (London).

In fact I could use words from my home town 20 miles away and they would have no idea what I was talking about.

Ding, ding, ding!

That can be said about pretty much any country, though. The older the country, however, the more diverse language gets (English has had more time to develop different accents in the UK than, let's say, Australia).

Wow. That's so awesome. I suppose if this character of mine was to say/or answers from whence he hails--and considering he uses the word "Guv"--the appropiate response would be southern (or northern?) London, making him a cockney?

Isn't Cockney English spoken in the East End?

By the way, R.J. I know nothing about your book but shouldn't you try to base your characters on things you actually know a fair bit about? Doing just a quick research may make your character look weird...

But this character that I'm referring to is just a stock character.

edit: I should also mention that this character has a very short appearance. But if I was to, say, get a fair understanding of the accent/lingo, I wouldn't be opposed/closed-minded to the idea of extending his role.

lol... I clicked "All your base are belong to us" and, what do you know? There's a long history of bases being invaded by enemy forces in both fiction and real life, heh.
