Can someone please place Martin's accent for me, geographically? I know in S2 we learn that his mother is in Devon, but does that mean that Martin grew up there?

Heh, while writing out this question I seem to have created a headcanon for myself that Jon finds Martin's voiced esses as endearing as I do. (He was extremely irritated by them at first. After all, he changed his accent and learned to speak properly, why can't everyone else do it?) But then he started not minding because he knew Martin, was starting to like and respect Martin more than he ever thought possible . . . and then months passed when all he had of Martin was a voice on a tape recorder . . .

Though Georgie's got a mildly Liverpool accent (that's what she means when she refers to "Scouse" in her statement), so Jon would have had at least the top layer of prejudice that "Northern accent equals stupid and uneducated" knocked out of him.

Which doesn't mean that he couldn't have had the "I know I shouldn't be irritated by this BUT YET I AM" response, of course.
