Ah, okay... erm, so why did Robbie say read the joke with a Cornish accent then ? Am I being thick here ?
Well Paul we have a dilemma!, how on earth could we expect you Brits to know what a Canadian accent sounds like? lol, I can assure you they DO sound quite like drunken Cornishmen!!.
Alex,
Don't confuse them any more lol, how could anyone relate to a Cornish Scotsman?.

Thanks Robbie. So yes, I was being thick - it's best that I know.
I could confuse 'em further by trying to describe the B.C. accent, however I have noticed these past 10 years since I've been living back here that it is dying out to be replaced by a generic mid west American accent. Even worse the local populace are more and more adopting American spellings. My grandkids I discovered today say Zee instead of Zed and spell color instead of colour.
