Administrators Dallas 3,160 Posted 12 January Administrators Share Posted 12 January Karl Taylor unleashes on the current trend known as "parabolic softboxes". Still can't figure out this guy's accent. Unfamiliar British with a large dollop of Aussie? My Gear List | Angle Of View Link to post Share on other sites

Administrators Dallas 3,160 Posted 15 January Author Administrators Share Posted 15 January The thing I find hard to place with Karl Taylor is his consonant sounds. If he uses words like "try" or "buy" they come out like "troy" and "boy" which I kind of attribute to either Cockney or Aussie accents, yet he isn't typical of either. Maybe it's a Guernsey accent? I dunno... My Gear List | Angle Of View Link to post Share on other sites

A cousin of mine emigrated to New Zealand a couple of years ago and she made me laugh the other day when she related how at Auckland Airport when asking for directions to the check in she thought the attendant was sending her to get some take away chicken.
