Being from the West Country, he must be used to people joking about his accent. Everytime they speak, I always think they're going to start off with "You got yer". They always do! It's funny when you hear them describe something technical: "You got yer keyboard, you got yer bluetooth headset, you got yer 17-inch widescreen high definition display..." In any other accent, it would sound fine, but the West Country do it the best!

I like the way that people from 'up country' seem to believe that Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset and parts of Gloucester all share a single common accent.

At the *very least*, I can identify two accents in Cornwall (West and East, gradually changing around about Bodmin) and three in Devon (West Devon, East Devon, Plymouth) alone!

I always used to love the way all the 'Cornish' characters in Wycliffe sported deep Somerset accents.

BBC Radio Devon's Tony Beard on a Sunday... what a legend, you could listen to him for hours (whilst being asleep).... but from his accent, you'd tell where he was from a mile off... I have his autograph
