It's a tiny ass island yet whenever a British person hears another British person they'll be like "Oi guvenor! I know exactly where in Merry-ol-England they are from! Clearly they're from Bovinshire-upon-Weavilton!" And Bovinshire-upon-Weavilton is a town like 10 minutes away from where they live.

i dont think there's a canterbury tales accent. IIRC chaucer has characters speaking in at least two different accents in it.
