"Spend more than £2,500 on kitchen units and get a free all-inclusive trip to Bali*"
"*(flights not included)."

And -

"Both modern and contemporary designs."

Not really, I'm afraid. I'm not a native of Sheffield, though I've lived here for more than half my life; I was born in Kendal, but my mother is from Sussex, and so my accent is more like hers than anything northern. Well, that is to say, people here in the north think I sound southern, and Mole thinks I sound northern, but then Mole's got a remarkably sensitive ear due to being a musician.

My ear's not as consistent, although I do tend to pick out Celts even if they don't have Celtic accents...

Oh, yes. The you've still got a Yorkshire accent/you've gone all posh syndrome. I know it well.

(Started at school. I well remember a teacher telling a sixth former who was about the play a major part which she was supposed to be doing in a Yorkshire accent: "For heaven's sake, go into the corridors and listen to the first years.")
