This would have had Sir Arthur posting once upon a time.

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. Smiley Very Happy
