Subject: RE: Mid-Atlantic (accent) ~~ Why?
If you want to hear some hideous accent mangling try a Northern Working Mens Club Country and Western act. Singing half the time in a mock American accent and constant lapsing into broad Yorkshire on certain phrases!

Excellent - "Phoenix Nights" moved across the border! There was a wonderful ending to one of Peter Kay's "Phoenix Nights" episodes - the bit where they always auditioned new acts. A one-legged man, dressed as Elvis, was doing a Presley song and beating out the rhythm on his tin leg with drumsticks. They all said, "Great - can you do any more?"

His reply was, "yes - "Blue Suede Shoe!"
