Supercalifra--never mind

So I'm watching Mary Poppins because it is awesome and I love it, and just two things that come to mind every time I watch it:

1. Dick van Dyke's accent as Bert doesn't bother me. Maybe I just don't know a real Cockney accent, but for as much as everyone scoffs at it (including him), I don't hear what's so terrible about it.

2. Other people totally want Bert and Mary to hook up, right? I'm really just working on the assumption that they're a couple, but for whatever reason, she comes and goes with the wind. But they're totally together. Bert + Mary 4ever! Maybe this is just my need to root for a couple in every movie and tv show I watch. That may not be healthy.
