I tried it. It came up with 3 different places in East London that I've never heard of, whereas I'm from Southampton.

....Later...
It gave me three places in London....so not too far off, I was born and bred in SE london.

Accent is pronunciation, dialect is accent plus localised words and expressions.

Round here any adult male can be referred to as a 'mush' (pronounced as in 'push'). Different regions have different terminology for the same sort of things. That is dialect. Accent is the manner in which the intonations of the words are spoken. For instance, you can get someone round here talking in a Scouse accent still calling someone a mush.

Still don't quite 'gerrit bruv'. (Understand my friend)
Your using dialect words in an inappropriate accent is parody, or satirical for humorous affect.
Perhaps your own definition would clear up my confusion.

Major influences in my early youth - Lily Barnes next door springs to mind - used that dialect, it's natural for me to employ the vocabulary. My accent, on the other hand, is far too inflexible to reach that far back.

So accent has nothing to do with it ?
I thought that was what I said that you didn't agree with, the only difference being..........accent.

Accent are 2 totally different things, but not totally unrelated. For instance - one example of local dialect:
Is it a roll, bap, batch, cob or a barm? - ITV News
Is it a roll, bap, batch, cob or a barm? - ITV News

A person may speak the local dialect in the local accent to his neighbours, but he may also employ the exact same accent when speaking the Queen's English to strangers from elsewhere despite using no dialect at all.

I would suggest a dialect word common to......lets say northern England.....spoken with a subtly different northern accent, could be recognised by locals.
Likewise any dialect word without it's local accent and taken into common usage is no longer dialect

Not if it's only common usage within the local area. It depends on whether the aforesaid shizzle spreads widely innit bro. Well wickid.

Of course not - that's how language develops. English itself is formed from a multitude of different languages - Roman, Scandinavian, French, Spanish, etc - to say nothing of the original Celtic. However, even with these different languages new dialectical terms are constantly being formed.
