v sorry, terrible terrible stereotype of a certain kind of Canadian. I guess I should have said, like a Canadian forty five beers into Canada Day one syllable, then totally English the next.
Eeee! I love hearing my LJ friends' voices. Yours isn't quite what I expected - it's pitched a little higher - but your delivery is just how I imagined, gentle and a bit dreamy.
Oh yes - it is textbook 'decline and fall' (and the clearest signal of the likely fate of the monarchy over the next two generations??)- though I doubt she will every completely get the hang of estuary twang!
My own accent, on the other hand, has gone in the opposite direction - and i am beginning to look a little like her - and I now enjoy marmalade and tea which I never did before - perhaps you should all elect me queen in her place?
You hybrid thing you! You sound a tad like the parents of one of my childhood friends. They came to Canada in the 60s, from Leicester I believe, and still have an accent of sorts.
I'd love to hear what your French sounds like with that accent as a base;-p
I didn't get to listen to this just now, so everyone has already commented -- but I have to chime in and say that I'm very glad I know where you come from, because the Canadian/English hybrid accent would have had be thoroughly confused otherwise! :-)
