What is interesting is the way he mixes a more south of England pronunciation of some words with a more northern accent- the way he says 'love' for instance is definitely less southern -'luv' rather than 'lav', as it were.Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.

No. It doesn't sound English at all. For one, I can actually understand what he's saying. I swear they need to put subtitles on English films marketed in the US."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi
"I have nothing against Wilson, but he's nowhere near the same calibre of QB as Flutie. Flutie threw for 5k+ yards in the CFL." -Ben Kenobi

it's not great. although it's kind of hard to get make a proper judgement from the 15 seconds he actually spends talking in his 'british' accent."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.
