BBC America has a very funny announcement running at the moment: something along the lines of John Oliver (the British guy from the Daily Show with Jon Stewart) saying something like: "This programme contains accents that you'd have heard a lot more of if you hadn't thrown our tea into Boston Harbour", followed by a woman explaining, also in a British accent, how to turn on the closed captioning on the television.
The best part about it? It is not closed captioned!

LOL Michele sent me back again, most Americans think I am British. At least they don't think I am Australian *grin*
ReplyDeleteOh dear Michele sent me back, while I am here I might as well be cheeky and ask you to vote for me, check out my latest blog post :D
ReplyDeleteWendy: already did -- went over there an hour or two ago....

My accent... I don't know. What accent do you call it for a person who's quarter Korean, quarter Japanese, half English who lived for 7 years in Guatemala and just moved to Canada?
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a strange announcement. Funny though. RT ;@)
ReplyDeleteI like it :)
ReplyDeleteI do often wonder what a British accent is though as the regional variations can be quite extreme!
