Funny audio clips!
I mean THAT's the real English!
With European ears you can hear there very well how close English is mixed/similiar and vice/versa with Scandinavian languages like Swedish/Norwegian/Danish and with northern German dialects!
It's very obvious!

That's pretty nifty, Chris!
Every once in a great while I have a go at Manchester, BBC proper, Cockney, Liverpool or mimic the ones heard on the old Monty Phython TV show. I'd venture to say that to most American's ears, all Brit accents sound alike!

68 - If you mean THE definitive James Bond, Sean Connery - he's Scottish, but usually adopts an English-Brit accent in his films.
Reminds me of an exchange the late Richard Burton once had:
Somebody asked him if he was English. Burton replied, but the person didn't understand what he said.
So the person asks: "What did you say?"
Burton replied: "I said 'Bite your tongue!' - in Welsh."

"If you mean THE definitive James Bond, Sean Connery"
No, I mean THE definitive James Bond, Roger Moore...
Who is English..
Moore was the best Bond.

Yeah, but Scotsmen aren't Englishmen...
Connery is a good Bond, but not as good as Moore.
Moore added alot of charm that Connery didn't have. Also a little humor.
Just enough humor to make you laugh, but not make Bond into a caricature.

| Timothy Dalton is the worst Bond, though. Even Lazenby is better.
