Hey

....also I guess it's trying to be "accessible"... many of the news programs here have sign language interpreters/ subtitles etc...

...and you're saying that CNN etc don't use subtitles?

and artist is correct.... when I moved schools no one could understand me (I have a very posh voice and sound like a cross between a radio 4 presenter and the queen!) and everyone at 6 form college (high school) spoke Essex english (Jade Goodey if you know her??) it was like going to a whole new planet

(and what a great way of fitting in - a totally bizarre accent that no one could get AND in a wheelchair - aren't I cool!)

Rxxxxx
