Now more specifically you should have said flat BBC English, as became the norm here before the widespread acceptance of local dialect by Auntie (Beeb, as in BBC). My parents were both born and raised in Manchester, Lancashire. I was born in the Middle East (Aden, to be specific), and raised all over the place, as my father was in the Royal Air Force. And the way I speak is very close to flat BBC English - it's an easily understood, neutral accent, which is also quite accepting and accomodating of slight local dialect and inflection. My roots are North West England, specifically Manchester (I am a lifelong supporter of Manchester City Football Club, as were/are most of my family), and although I no longer live in Manchester I reside just 20 miles away to the North on the East Pennine Moors, where men are men, and sheep are nervous. so I'm still in close contact ;) Confused ? I am permanently, and I gave up on it all years ago, and just take things for what they are :D Chris :) -- Stratmangler There is no element of personal attack in my response. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stratmangler's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20387 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85319 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
