The most excruciatingly bad attempt at an English accent it's ever
been my misfortune to hear. Unfortunately. Ruined a great show for me.

Gordon & the TT


That was the consensus from the show's English fans. Made me glad
I wasn't handicapped in that way-- they deprived themselves of a
absolutely hysterical comic performance.

Apparently, Daphne is just as phony.

Yeah, every once in awhile someone would complain about that. I
didn't care.

And on TV as Frasier fans among us know he was a treat as Daphne's
ne'er-do-well brother Simon, slipping into a Brit accent for the
part.


He did? When? He did sound horribly strangled but I didn't hear any
approaching a British accent.

Jeanette

Wow, it seems like you can pick a fight with this one wherever you go!
I thought he was hysterical, and whatever the accent was, he had great
line readings.

"Jeanette" had some very interesting things to
say about "go down cellar":

Apparently, Daphne is just as phony.
Yeah, and she IS British isn't she? She's just hopeless at putting on a
Manchester accent. I was convinced that she was American until someone
assured me otherwise.

According to http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005137/ , she was born in
Essex, FWIW. Bio info says she grew up in Sussex.

My mother, who lives in Alaska, runs into a similar problem

can't be shipped out of the United States.

As far as I know, in the Army you still get the same overseas pay for
being stationed in Alaska as you do stationed in Korea. IIRC, we used
to get a whopping $9 when I was in Fairbanks in the late 70's - almost
enough to cover the cost for one person to eat at the local Dairy
Queen. My first trip off post I stopped in the Dairy Queen and
couldn't pay for a shake, cheeseburger and fries with the $10 I had on
me - had to settle for Dr Pepper instead of the shake. About half way
through my time there McDonalds opened a resturant there (price for a
Big Mac 5 cents more than in the lower 48). For awhile, it was the
busiest McDonalds in the world, with lines out the door whenever you
went there.
