I was about to suggest that you are naive, but thinking about it, my girlfriend has picked up a very annoying West Midlands accent since we moved here.
However, since Middlesex and Kent are both in the south, there probably isn't too distinct a difference, and Ed Smith's posh accent is probably down to his time at Cambridge University or the fact he probably went to a public school.
