I just love accents! Sadly my hearing is not good enough these days to pick up those oh so important little details contained within an accent. Thank you so much for posting this.

A brilliant post! Thank you. - That guy is amazing.
Some info for anyone visiting the UK: - our 'accents', or more correctly 'dialects', change every few miles. I am Nottingham born and bred and speak with a Nottingham dialect (Ayup mi duck, oo worri we, worri wee issen?), and recently taught at a school just 40 miles away in a Nottinghamshire town called Worksop (near Edwinstowe - the 'capital' of Sherwood Forest) - I had to make my pupils repeat everything - slowly - because I didn't understand a word they said.
