I will concede that I have actually seen Chas n Dave live though.

Perhaps, but any London-area accent is particularly annoying to Northern ears
We can tell that some are stronger than others, but anywhere 'dahn sarf' has the same 'Laahndaahn' twang, to us. Whereas West-Country accents sound just fine, and surprisingly similar to a Yorkshire accent.
I'm sure the same happens to you guys — I wouldn't expect anyone south of Birmingham to be able to tell a Lancashire accent from a Yorkshire accent.
