Dr Who knows kilts rule

[Jock Scot]

British regional accents are still there, but often not as distinct as they were in my youth. Even with my ancient and damaged hearing I can often place the assorted accents and turn of phrase, pretty accurately and sometimes, I can, on occasion, even place an accent to within a very specific area of a county.

Australian, New Zealand, South African, many ex-Empire African Countries, some States in the USA and Canada are/were quite easily recognised too, some British Schools still to this day have quite distinct accents too. Accents used to be a party trick of mine-------particularly useful as an opening line with a pretty lady at a party or, at dinner when seated next to a stranger------ and even though I say it myself, I was quite good at it.
