    Sounds like he has the proper British accent.

    • Funny thing is, KH asked me the other week if there was a British equivalent of redneck. I said "hmmm ... rural, backwards, conservative - maybe west country".

      • The Forest of Dean is the nearest we have to inbred hillbillies, after all - except that's technically north of the river as far as West Country is concerned...
        Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

          I'm sure he thinks that.

            North of the river :hehe:

            Way to go you provincials. There's only one north-of-the-river, as you well know. Reminds me of people in Ontario pretending they have a place called London.

            • Rest assured, London, Ontario is better than Paris, Ontario.

              Berlin, Ontario was somewhere inbetween til it was renamed Kitchener in WW2.

              • What, exactly, is Ontario's problem?

                • I wouldn't know where to start.

                  But it probably has more to do with everyone here trying to be something they're not. Toronto thinks its New York.

                    'alright mate' should be the text-book standard for all our regional accents. I can still execute a perfect black-country version of this from my midlands days.

                      Fake London is marginally better than Fake Paris.

                            'oar-right mate'.

                              Krill - is that Staffordshire?

                              I suppose is is "Staffordshire", but it isn't a proper Stokie accent, and I occasionally slip in a bit of geordie if I'm not being careful...
