  1. Yep. This is a case of England and its huge HUGE variation in accents. Why it's funny as hell when Americans say "you sound British". When in England you sound totally different to someone from a town 25 miles away And that's before we consider Wales, Scotland and Ireland. All of which accents are as different from most English accents as would be someones from NZ AUS or south Africa!

  2. Finding out that Her Magisty granted the VC, makes that drydock all the more worth watching. One of the best things about the modern information era is that these stories are shared.

  3. Proof English is a variety of accents. In the north he would have said it in the Australian way. But he's from the south. If he were Welsh, Irish, Scottish or from areas of England with heavy accents (Birmingham, Liverpool, Newcastle, Norfolk) then you'd probably barely understand him. The difference between miss pronouncing a foreign language and applying your own accent to your first language. Hence I don't see how it could be argued his pronunciation is incorrect.
