I really hate to say this (and possibly things are different in WW) 
but Arthur's chances of becoming a Minister, or even rising very high 
in ministry circles, would be practically nil if he spoke with a 
thick cockney accent.  For some reason, Scottish, Yorkshire, Irish 
etc. are acceptable but speak with a cockney accent and you have no 
chance.  This does not apply to show-business circles, where phony 
cockney accents abound.
