*sigh*

The American accent you hear on TV is hugely different from the average American's accent. I spent quite a lot of time in the States 4 years ago and more than half the time I couldn't understand what was being said. Just compare the pommie accent to a Surrey accent. Example: compare a BBC news reader or reporter's accent with say Geoffrey Boycott.

If you don't get it then you probably never will.

Thanks Jonty. Even with the shtty tone.

True but being English myself I wouldn't apply for the Zulu News anchor's job. Nobody's expecting everybody to pronounce English perfectly but if you can't speak the language properly then don't take a job where your main function is speaking it.

They will take any faaking job. Well, most of them can't do the jobs they're in, so it is not a requirement for the job to be qualified for the job - as long as you're black.

BEE & AA?

Eish!
