I like this. I should send them a recording of my bizarre accent.

hm, I wonder what their policy for sampling or use of the files in a creative work would be. their credits and copyright section doesn't seem to discuss that.

Years and years and years ago I heard Lynn Redgrave doing a whole range of England English accents. Can't recall the context, but would love to hear/see it again if this rings any bells with anyone.
Here's hoping they expand the London section, which, like NYCity, seems a little spotty
But aren't I glad they're doing this at all, esp. as I missed the post the first time round.

Any sites out there that document the parentage/progression of accents (i.e. where certain accents came from/how they were developed)?
