I don't think I do either ... but the "t" the Brits say must be more pronounced.

I guess, but as we've mentioned many times, it can depend on where in the US you are, or are from. I've noticed differences on pronunciations in the UK too.

Very true. I recently discovered that I have an appreciation for a Liverpool accent. Who knew? :tounge_smile:

I picked that up on the guy Steve McMananananahan or whatever his name is during the England/Germany match this weekend. DH scoffed and said, that was easy, and I said maybe for those of us who remembered the Beatles in the old days, but now, not so much.
Sorry for taking it so off topic, OP. |

That's who I was thoroughly enjoying listening to ... I did not pick up on where he was from. I thought he was perhaps Scottish. :o I'd better stop talking on this subject or I'm going to entertain/annoy many a Brit.

Re: It Has Started...
One difference I've noticed is that in Britian if politicians don't like another country they are polite and say so in parliament in a constructive manner (unless it is Germany or France, and then everyone is just rude and bizarre).
However the US just bombs it to **** and back. Is it just me who has noticed this? :confused: |

Odd you should mention the Blues. I was just listening to some tracks Chris Layton laid down with Pinetop Perkins. |
