Retail giant Asda has advertised a job for a Liverpudlian after rivals Morrisons snubbed the town in its search for "working class" actors.
Asda says it is searching for a presenter with a strong Liverpudlian accent for their instore radio station.
It comes after Morrisons was criticised for controversially listing a casting call for working class people which said people from Liverpool would not be considered for the role.
The calling notice said: "They should be proper working class people but not at all like the people from Benefits Street.
"They should NOT sound or look posh and we should skew towards northern accents. And nobody from Liverpool please."
Morrisons attempted to distance themselves from the row by blaming acting vacancies website Casting Networks Inc who apologised for the "unverified posting".
But their rivals Asda, who have two stores in the city, now want only a Scouser as their new presenter because of their typically "warm, passionate and friendly" accent. 
Not sure you can refer to the dialect in that way on here 
I have no idea where Sir Art is Astro, he would have been in his element with the Brexit debate but I guess he may be recovering from a slapabotomy.
Fred, you might have an accent, but are not aware of it.
My mother was from Hull, but lived in Bristol for 60 years.
I never noticed her Yorkshire accent, but others did.
I always thought that I didnt have an accent, until I went up North, and people kept asking what part of the West Country I am from.
Possibly because I picked up some Yorkshire from my mother and some Bristolian from my father.
Hmmm, mildly disappointing. My comments were intentionally way over the top, expecting to be slated on all sides, but it didn't happen.
I knew Margaret Thatcher had an affected accident and that many people couldn't stand her - that's why I mentioned her to wind people up, but I was very real when it came to Billy Connolly. I genuinely can't understand two words he says when he get's excited, telling jokes. A Birmingham accent is acceptable as is a general Welsh accent although they tend to put the emphasis on the last letter of each word. My sister picked up the same dialect when she moved up to Bangor many years ago. I lived spent and worked in London which has, as you say, become a mishmash of every dialect under the sun. The east London and Essex accents tend to be sharp and unforgiving. My accent is impossible to place because I have lived in Cyprus and everywhere else during my childhood - I hate hearing myself on tape. The "real" me sounds nothing like what it sounds to my ear. If you hear yourself on tape you'll not recognise yourself.
Finally it was a rather daft thing to come out with though - no Liverpudlian need apply - they've shot themselves in the foot on that one!
I'm originally from Coventry and consider my accent fairly flat, nothing like Birmingham which is only about 20 miles away, but people from outside the area always confused the two. Now I live in Gloucestershire which has a wide variety of accents ranging from rural (the locals) to RP English (the moneyed 2nd homers) and everything in between. Occasionally I still get asked if I'm from Birmingham.
Sir A was a racist and anti everything that didn't agree with his views..... A bit like Cameron and his cronies
You from Birmingham? 
I don't think I'll ever get rid of my Dutch accent. After 24 years living here you can stil hear it and it's mixed with a Manc accent. I must sound lovely.
I have no problems understanding Billy Connolly.
