  • It's Rob Hatch. He's the lesser of two evil's in that you might have Kirby but it's the pronunciation of any European name, he needs to reign it in a bit.

    Also heard him talk, not on commentary recently and he's got a really thick Yorkshire accent. Totally different to his 'TV' voice WTF? I mean like a different person!

    I hate that folk change their accent, become affected by anything.

  • I hate that folk change their accent

    It's often not deliberate is it? I know my accent is pretty 'fluid' and morphs according to context/situation/who I'm speaking to. It's not intentional, my accent just isn't very 'fixed'. I suspect it's because I didn't have a stable household/community accent growing up, but I've met other people who say they're the same despite growing up surrounded by a particular accent. It can be a bit embarrassing, I sometimes wonder if people think I'm taking the piss.

  • Yeah this. I’m a bit of a chameleon when it comes to accents, but not on purpose.

  • I have three accents.

    My natural fife, which is understood by few.

    By “business voice”, which is understood globally and basically Glasgow/Edinburgh Uni sounding

    My “Hungarian” which is understood by my wife and no native Hungarian speakers…
