OH! I was just wondering back in your journel (because I am that bored)... four days ago, I did a talk on Voices for my archives MA class! (My particular favourites are the Black Country guys talking about people trying to disguise the accent, and the poem in praise of regional speech, and the Guernsey-French speakers swearing. Oh, and the Salford teens thinking of thier words for 'ugly'. I was born in Manchester, so it always raises my blood pressure slightly when I hear the expression 'British Accent' and know that someone is thinking of the Working Title films...
