Is THAT what it is supposed to be? I always presumed it
was a little known accent from some obscure place in the

Canada. It certainly didn't sound to me like it had
anything to do with England.

Funny you should mention it; apparently, Jane Leeves has
a real British accent, it's just not Manchester. I guess
it would be like me trying to do a Texas drawl. Wouldn't
quite work. I'm much better at the Fargo-style Minnewegian.
^_^ Incidentally, her accent does sound British to me.

While we're on the subject, does anyone know of a good site
where one can hear samples of different dialects and accents
(or just read about them)?
