High on my list of things that send the old irkometer off the scale: this was provoked today when I saw an ad for a Public Enemy compilation on telly. It’s just this - if you want an American accent for a voiceover, hire a flippin’ American. Lord only knows there’s enough of them, getting on for 300 million in fact. Some fish-faced out-of-work actor from Birkhamstead just won’t do. I know we limeys should never forget the crime against the Queen’s English that was Dick van Dyke, but that was forty years ago now. Time to forgive and move on, chaps.
