Talking to the chap for a while it seems he sat next to my mother at St Mary's school.

Accents, well having worked all over this country I've come across the lot, but there are two accents that really grate with me Brummy, but worst of all Scouse, Jenifer Ellison is a cracking looking girl, until she opens her gob, what a real turn off.

So whats your likes and dislikes accent wise and whats your take on accents?

I left Accy in 68 and I also worked in Coventry until 1992. Then moved to Kent. People tell me that I still have a strong Northern Accent. I dont mind that, But I detest it when somebody calls me a Yorkie. That does get me.
