I can't explain it I guess. I know it when I hear it though. Words are pronounced differently and have different inflection.

There was a fella I worked with in Virginia that was from the Caribbean islands. He had an island accent but it sounded British. When I asked him he told me the British originally settled the island he was from.

It's weird that manker can't recognize Lennox as having a Brit accent yet over here it's CaptainObvious.

Incidently he told the story where he impregnated 2 woman on different occasions on the same day. He has two kids conceived on the same day from different mothers. :lol: :lol:

If anyone can find an audio clip of someone with a geordie accent and another with a welsh (dunno what part tis manker) accent just to show what I mean.

None of this arse off big brother fake geordie accent shite though, or the mackem accents in byker grove, byker my arse, pennywell (monkey smell) more like!:angry:

Maybe being mistaken for scottish is slightly acceptable though, there are a few similarities between 'em and geordie

Canadians are harder for me to put my finger on. Alot of comedians are Canadian and I mistook them for American. Lennox sounds nothing like any Canadian I've ever heard.

The only European I've ever "dated" was a beautiful woman from Switzerland. Her last name was Bruhwiler. I met her while doing work at the Washington Monument and she asked me to take her picture (with her other female friend). From there I got her number and then we met up later the next day and a had beautiful night on the Baltimore Harbor (she'd never been there).
The rest I won't go into.

I regretted not keeping in touch with her. She was beautiful, voluptuous, fit, and funny. We kept in touch for awhile by email and she invited me to Switzerland but I never took her up on it.

I think she said she worked for Pfizer and was just traveling around the world. I remember not hearing much of an accent until she said "vich one" instead of "which one". Her father was German.

Oh yes, her, I know her, what with us both being from Europe.

Check here for different accents around the British Isles.

I can't believe I read the whole thread , but often wondered why it ends up in the lounge . But Lennox Lewis to a Canadian sounds like someone with a phoney Brit accent or someone trying to gain fans from his new country .



How do we explain Mike Tyson ( Helium breath ) I hit him in his equilibriums he went down ! :cry:


Edit : Had to think about that . :)
