yeah my grandmother's Lithuanian and she sounds nothing like the Lithuanian person on the game. The person on the game sounds like some sort of native English speaker, probably being one of those few people who learn English without retaining their original accent-ation.

26. Sometimes I think people had uncharacteristic accents for their location, and other times I had totally lucky guesses."You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known.

I got a 22. I think there is room for improvement.
I kinda thought it would one accent from one country at the start. I didn't think there would also be regional variations.

I also got Cheshire and Birmingham wrong. I guessed Brighton for one of them because the buildings looked classic Brighton (but then I wasn't really listening to the test as I was a bit drunk).One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

I got Cheshire right, but it wasn't a very easy to spot Cheshire accent, it was more that it wasn't any of the others. And the Glaswegian was easy because he looked a bit like Billy ConnellySpeaking of Erith:
