just a question, what's the significance of a northumbrian accent ?

Absolutely nothing, apart from the fact that the middle class in southern England would probably not consider it to be a middle class accent at all (and of course there's various different accents in that region, anyway... but a Geordie accent would have been one of them in the time the story is set (well, OK, it wouldn't, because Northumbria had long ceased to exist and had become Northumberland instead, but... what? oh OK, I'll shut up now
