The Grimbrians have spoken… Sacha Baron Cohen’s accent in his new movie ‘Grimsby’ is not up to snuff.

In a somewhat poetic case of getting their own back after being lampooned by the comedian’s latest character, the beer-swilling hooligan Nobby, he’s been dubbed 'the new Dick Van Dyke’, akin to the star’s cod-Cockney twang in 'Mary Poppins’.

Hundreds have taken to Twitter to explain that his accent is more south Yorkshire than Humberside.

Where is #Grimsby ?
