lol, joe, I don't know about professional. I'm interested to know what the other English people on the site think (particularly the southerners, because it's definitely a southern accent). I'd guess he's from Swindon. Either that, or from Bristol but spent some time nearer London.
Last time I heard an accent like that, I was in a Bristol pub with a mate and all I said was, "two pints of that, please" and the barmaid immediately said, "you boys are a long way from 'ome" in the same accent that guy has. Weirdly, I was less than two hundred miles from home. In many countries, that's absolutely nothing.
I'm an English Southerner. It does have a bit of the farmer about it, West Country like Bristol. Swindon might be a safer bet since it sounds a little bit more Eastern. Kind of hard to tell because he also sounds slightly retarded, and has a weird intonation, and, as he confessed himself, "has trouble with his pronunciation".
I'm from Gloucestershire, proper farmer accent there.... arrrr!
What accent do you find the most attractive?

Hmm a bit like Wiltshire and a bit of Someset...and later went to school south of the Thames in Greater London Region..Wimbledon perhaps.
A bit of south London but something else there. Maybe some Bloomsbury or some Chiswick.

He does say "episode" as "epswisode"
No where near as extreme as Scouse or Geordie though.
