Message: 
"All right, we all love Dick Van Dyke but as Bert the charming chimney sweep in this Disney classic ('Mary Poppins'), his accent is far from realistic. Maybe you can justify it by saying that it's a comic role in a children's film, but even then it's still bad. His attempt at a British cockney accent was deemed so awful that the term 'Van Dyke accent' is used in England to describe failed attempts by Americans to sound British. 'Nuff said, guv'ner?"
