Re: Interesting.

You may hate to stereotype, but yer gonna go ahead and do it anyway?

:)

Well, I grew up in and around Leicester, which, at some point in the next 25 years, will make the transition from majority white to majority asian. Asian accents are just normal to me.

Since about 1970, it's had the highest proportion of asians to whites in the UK.

I have no problem with asian accents - although understanding the strangled tones of the bloke on the RealPlayer ("Wellcyum two ReawlPlayerrrrr") intro clip is something of a challenge to me.

And I guarantee that there are colleagues of mine you'd find completely unintelligible - they're Geordies.

And let's face it - those injuns spoke better English than your Gujerati, or Urdu, or Hindi, or Punjabi...
