I'm not sure you could call the Sun a "news"paper, Martin :)

They seem more obsessed with which Royal family member they can catch 
topless. :))

My father is the Indian agent for Alstom, so I've been interacting with 
Britons of all "classes" all my life. I've heard everything from the 
"propah" upper class London accent to the machine worker lingo. Pretty 
varied, in'it?

At my father's gast turbine repair facility, I used to be the official 
translator for a nice Scotsman who'd come for a few months. None of the 
engineers could figure out his thick accent, and I'd have to politely try 
and explain :))

Of course, I can also switch to a British or Aussie accent if the situation 
demands it.

Cheers,

Madhu
