Do you have a strong regional accent?

I was wondering too! Thanks for doing the research on that because I'm lazy.



I actually like Hugh Grant but as a whole package...the next time I see something with him in it, I will pay better attention to his voice and less about his mannerisms.

The Grant fella is an oik when you watch/listen to proper 'plummy' or RP English. Best example I can think of is in a film such as Anthony Asquith's The Importance of Being Earnest [1952]...the one with the inimitable Dame Edith Evans as Lady Bracknell and Micheal Redgrave as Ernest. Now *that's* RP!

If you're a Wilde fan then this version is a must see.

But seriously, I had to look up "oik" too.

So Hugh Grant's not a good example? And you don't like him?
