Kidding :-D
Not just Northerners proggy - unless Norn-Iron stock counts as well
I can only speak for what it was like in the 60's & 70's though. I imagine London is so multicultural these days that there is no "London" accent anymore.
Offset "(Emp) - a little heavy on the hyperbole."
I have never heard another Londoner (north, south, east or west) pronounce London as Landon. The only time I've ever heard anyone say Landon is when non-Londoners, mainly northerners, are taking the piss out of the accent. And I've heard that hundreds of times.
I've lived a few miles north of the M25 for most of my life. I have heard "Larndan" more than "Landon", in much the same way you might put on a generic Southern Yob accent and go "I'll av a pint of laaaarrrrrger, mate". But I have heard it. Mostly from people with fairly strong working class Essex/Harlow/Stevenage or north/northeast London accents. It's hardly ubiquitous though.
"The Friday Humour thread is my little bit of pleasure to look forward to during the week - I don’t read it until Friday. Seeing the post count going up makes me think that I am going into a conucopia / compendium of all sorts of humour. I don’t even mind the limericks .
And as he was, I'm aware of the irony in posting this...
The congregation wasn’t too impressed.

is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
