I totally love that you hear Emma Thompson's voice when you read my posts lol.

Actually, I think her voice is a little like mine, but with a different accent. Similar tone and pitch (except when I am hyped on lager and excitement ala the Greenwich vid, at which point my voice is a little higher in pitch :P)

One reason a non-Brit might not spot the difference between SG and me accentwise, is because I don't have a particularly strong accent. SG's accent is close to received pronunciation, because that part of the country is where that tone was set. The accent for my part of the world is quite different to RP, but my accent veers closer towards it, because my regional accent is not strong. Or rather, not strong most of the time. I drift in and out depending on my mood and the company I keep.

If you compared a broader northern accent (i.e pretty much any of my old Bolton friends) with SG's the difference would be much more obvious.

Speaking Welsh
Not so much a language more of a speech impediment

I used to hate it when I worked in bars when they decended on Edinburgh during the rugby 6 nations a whole week of dealing with drunk Welshmen, would make you weep
