Yes, seeing the cars parked at lower water level is amusing since you know what’s going to happen. From a historical interest, King Canute’s daughter is buried in the church, although I think the place he ‘tried to turn the waves back’ is in Southampton. The church is actually a Basilica which was converted into a church by the Saxons.
I’m not so much disputing this as basing it on British people I’ve met who have come from different regions and different accents. Sometimes the f is used in replace of the th, but it is not a feature of their regional accent.
The cite above says it is indeed a regional feature. Here’s one of the linked articles, on Estuary English:
Another Bosham fact: the church appears on the Bayeux Tapestry. Amazingly, there is a very recognisable architectural feature on the tapestry that is still visible today: the Anglo Saxon arch that is between what is now the nave, and the Norman-built chancel, which at the time was the entrance to the church. But the most notable historical thing about the church is that I was christened there.
Yeah, wtf. No other Brits have ever heard somebody from the south east replace “th” with “f”? It’s very definitely a feature of some accents in and around London, for instance.

It’s the fookin’ Newcastle mate!
While we’re on it, did you have trouble understanding me in the real world? 
huh?
I still have no idea what you are talking about. Is this your way of backing off your “amazing” comment, after reading jjimm’s posts?
And if I’m replying to old posts, so are you.
How does thissound to the British and Irish?
American. Mumbling.
That is my favourite scene in the film. Is that guy actually a professional actor? It’s not hard to understand what he’s saying though.
I assume he is. However, I grew up around there, and that type of speech is really not much of an exaggeration - especially amongst rural, older people.
Here’s a good article on him.

In 1996 he was also featured as “Mr. Mohra” in the Oscar-winning Coen brothers film Fargo.
The IMDB lists only one other film credit: something called Four Boxes from 2009.
I’m at work so I can’t click but I’m guessing Sean of the… ?
A local yokel in Fargo who called the cops to report something strange he witnessed.
