Accents

About Italy, well, dialects can be a problem sometimes, because it often happens that two people  from two different regions who use strong dialect do not understand what the other is saying. Some dialects are also quite irritating  (especially those in the south). Oh, and italian people's knowledge and pronunciation of english is just crappy in most cases.

 

And if so, welcome to my world.

They were caricatures rather than true representation - I didn't think the British accents were that accurate because most of them were too generalised and not as regionally specific as they should have been - there is more than one natural London accent (true cockney is very specific to a small area of London) and that's before you start introducing Jamacian patois. His Scottish was poor, there is a huge variation in accents across Scotland and his wasn't one of them - his Welsh was more of the same - like an impression of someone doing a Welsh accent (if you get what I mean).

 

Other than that he was pretty good (no, really) - and that's the thing with doing accents - he wouldn't pass muster as a Scouser in Liverpool but he would practically everywhere else in Britian.
