:D I'm told I don't have an accent... ask Koan, though. It probably has something to do with my diverse background and speaking a handful of languages... sometimes in certain company my English side comes out, though... West End, London... Oxford, Chalfont St. Peter, something or other.

These are from two miles up road and they give a notion of Lancashire's recalcitrant bloody-mindedness:
