I love accents too....whether they be regional from my native land or foreign.

I've always put this down to the fact that I do not have an accent....I speak with 'Received Pronunciation' which means you wouldn't be able to place where I'm from in the UK. I like the way I speak, but it attaches me to my (dare I say it?) class and educational background rather than my geographical one, which I've always thought was rather sad!

In my current job, I speak to engineers from all over the country, most of whom I've not met face to face, and it's shocking how quickly I make a judgement on whether I like them based on their voice on the phone.

My current favourite is, I think, a Kiwi, although he's possibly an Aussie (I haven't dared ask which) and I just love talking/flirting with him on the phone!
