    The few Brits that I've met at work, I understood perfectly.

    One was the telecom guy at Agence France Presse (yes everyone else was French) and the other was the telecom guy at United Press International (weirdly enough eveeryone else seemed...Arab ).

    It's that shit in some of the movies that gets me. It sure ain't English.

    Of course, I speak beautifully clearly, never use slang or owt me duck!
    Ahhhh, yeah, I have to admit, I do have some trouble with RF's Geordie accent at times. But to be honest, it's a combination of the accent, slang, and his being so soft spoken that gets me.
    I dont have a strong accent (for around here) nor do i speak slang that much..
