From 5:55 they all sound like proper (East) Midlanders, despite being from what I consider to be "on the way to London Northampton".
I wonder if a Northampton accent has become more southern since then. I don't remember Jo Whiley talking like that.

Listening carefully I did actually pick up on a few non-southern ways of pronouncing words there. "Garrij" for garage for a start.
But she called net curtains "voiles".

I'm very southern and I've never pronounced garage in any other way than garrij.
Indeed we found the posh version very amusing. 'Can you manahge to put the carriahge in the garahge,' we'd say.

I've always thought "garrij" was a more Midlands/Northern thing.
Maybe it's like "scone", where there are variations even within regions, with even some parts of the North rhyming it with stone.

I've always pronounced it "gah-rarge".
The really posh way of pronounce it is "g'rahge" though.

Scone is definitely not pronounced, "gar-rarge."

And neither is "garage".

If this was reddit someone would have shown up by now to post that they've always called scones gah-rahges, and how that's part of their proud Midlands-American heritage.
