UK, this sausage is routinely used as a comic cliche to identify
people from the North. It is supposed to indicate earthy, working

how different Ron is in style and background to eg Hermione, who
having a typical middle class southern background knows and likes
French food such as bouillebaisse...>>>
The Sergeant Majorette says
Could we get a British perspective on another accent? I love Tom
Felton as much as anyone else, don't get me wrong, but for some
reason his accent bugs me a little, or maybe it's his voice. What
does he sound like to British ears? I'd expect Draco to have
an "accentless" accent, like Hermione or Harry, or Mr. Malfoy.
I know this is starting to veer a little off-topic, but I promise to
drop it right here...
