Roadman Dialect in Different Accents (Parody)
Brought to you by Jake Wardle at https://www.jakewardle.com. My roadman character ‘Eyeman T’ wants to make some P (make some money in British Pound Sterling) teaching people the Multicultural London English dialect (also known as “roadman” or “street”). He unveils his ‘Road to Roadman Initiative’ and shows us some video clips of his students talking “street” in all their various accents.
