Tbh it's more Americans who don't believe in saying "T" half the time. Unless it's 13-19, or a T at the beginning of the word, Americans always say "D"
"Water" becomes "Wodder", and you can't even say "Italy" because of the backflips your tongue has to do saying "D" instead of "T" hahaa
Well whatever a cockney is, I have never spoken to a British person who uses the T in most words. Maybe all of my British friends are cockneys lol. But where I grew up, enunciating the letter T is obsessively brainwashed in. We like our Ts hard
My Rs are a lot harder than Evie's too. Often I feel like you can barely tell if he used the r at all or just skipped it altogether.
My ex-girlfriend is from Ealing, in London's West End. She slips between cockney and posh accents without notice, confusing the hell out of me in the process.
