David Cameron attempted a Yorkshire accent while delivering his keynote address at the Conservative party annual conference.
(Click on the button in the bottom right to get audio).
The leader of the Conservatives made the remark while praising former party leader and foreign secretary William Hague.
But the internet was split over whether his accent was any good.
Could someone settle the "David Cameron Yorkshire accent" debate please.

Well, at least he can line up some voiceover appearances whenever he's no longer leading the country.
David Cameron attempting a Yorkshire accent, presumably lining up a role in Emmerdale for late 2015.
