"he'd always thought he had a neutral British accent."

My wife was moaning one night about Star Trek. "All the aliens have American accents" I asked her what kind of accent she thought aliens would have! She claimed it would more believable if they were neutral and spoke like her because she doesn't have an accent. She is English, from Norwich, and doesn't speak with any English regional accent right enough, especially not a Norfolk one. However anyone could tell right away that she is English because of her English accent. Yet she still insists she has no accent. She just speaks properly :-)

Allan C., I'm going to have to ask you to choose another user name and use it consistently, and I would suggest that you should register as a member. The name Allan C. is already taken, by somebody in the United States. "Allan C - UK" or something like that would be fine. I have been deleting your messages because your posts appear to be impersonation.
Thanks.
