a double take to

6:40

make sure that was me speaking it and it

6:43

was me being genuine with it as opposed

6:45

to me

6:46

mocking somebody else's accent it's like

6:48

well where's he picked that up from he's

6:50

it's it's like i said it's like my aunt

6:52

i would i would like to be able to just

6:54

assume an accent or if you had one and

6:56

then just take everyone by surprise by

6:58

being able to use it

6:59

[Laughter]

7:01

but if so for someone who's never been

7:03

to great britain

7:05

would you sort of say if you had to pick

7:07

a region

7:08

like i would like if i'm listening to

7:09

you i'd say you're sort of south east

7:12

but not southeast of london yes so

7:15

you're sort of the sussexy kent yes um i

7:19

would think that you're probably fair in

7:20

that assumption um but we only moved to

7:23

the sussex area in december oh really so

7:26

from where uh croydon

7:29

okay um and i've i've lived previously

7:32

in areas like beckenham

7:34

um but predominantly it's been bromley

7:37

so it's it's all within the london

7:39

suburbs of london

7:41

so again it's like there's a bit of an

7:44

accent perhaps as you've picked up in

7:46

that respect yeah but it's not the most

7:48

obvious once you place where i've come

7:50

from

7:51

and my origins so right

7:53

what accent would you do you think you

7:55

have

7:56

london i'm born and bred in cockney land

7:59

so
