Mahoney didn't want his British accent to make him seem more “posh” or upper-class than he really was. During an interview with Britain's Radio 4, he said, “People say there's no trace of an accent anymore, and there isn't because I worked very hard to lose it.

This was primarily because they didn't want viewers to think that Frasier was simply riffing off with what Cheers did with Vera, Norm's (George Wendt) wife, who was often mentioned but never made it on screen.
