** Characters from Yarvil get a Cockney accent similar to [[Literature/HarryPotter Hagrid's]], with plenty of apostrophes and missing h's, to distinguish them from the Pagford folk.
** It's not a Cockney accent - Cockney accents are from London, more specifically the working-class parts of the East End. Yarvil and Pagford are both explicitly stated to be in the West Country, in southwestern England, and thus all of the characters native to Pagford/Yarvil should have West Country accents. Gaia's London accent is remarked upon in the narration of many characters who don't get the funetik aksent treatment, which seems to be used only for the dialogue of characters from the Fields to indicate their relative lack of education. Indeed, if any of the characters were to have a Cockney accent, it would be Gaia - her accent is only specified as a 'London accent' and she and Kay are said to have moved from Hackney, which is a currently somewhat-shabby-but-rapidly-gentrifying neighborhood in East London. See {{BritishAccents}} for more information.
