What are you favourite accents?

[Maia]

OOoooooooo NOooooooooo!

Whence comest thou, little pettle?

I can neither confirm, nor deny, being a proud native of a certain mystical city, of which many stories are told, situated in the middle of this fair isle.

...lol. Maybe your intellect has an affect on the accent making it agreeable to my ears....my cockney twang would also need to be switched perhaps to my Hampshire country lad accent or perhaps I can put my Ozzy ocker accent on! In any case I very much doubt we will ever meet, but if we do I am certain I will warm to the sound of your voice and heck, maybe you could break my Brummie curse.

It should always be remembered, of course, that Shakespeare spoke a dialect that later evolved into Brummie, which makes it, I think, the most important in the history of English. I also can't help mentioning another famous and influential Brummie, namely, Tolkien, whose childhood home is less than half an hour's walk from where I live.

I am less 'cultured' than bacteria growing in a petri-dish. It wasn't until the hobbit was at the cinema that I knew of Tolkien!
