No. 1: Ladies' Detective Agency

Best I could do , writing it.....lol

lol the problem is you see when you see "oop" written you don't pronounce it like we would. We would pronounce that "ooooop" (as in 'loop') where you probably mean it more like the 'oo' in 'look' in which we pronounce the vowel sound the same way but you don't.

We tend not to say " ee bah gum!" either

I can do scous and pass as natural Cornish even speak a few words of the language.
East London slips off the tongue easily, well attended a college in Middesex Street ( Peticoat lane ) so not surprising.
The ones I find impossible are Norfolk, Jordy, and Brum.
But I think the Norfolk accent is lovely, I could listen to it for ever.
I loved the way they Spoke in Lady detective but I wouldnt know if the accent was right or not. I don't think I have ever heard Botswanan spoken before.

Yes, I know the sound. My mother-in-law says booooook and coooook. Born and raised in Manchester, with a cockney Mum. Lived for years in Macclesfield.

The Botswanian (sp) accent I know well from living in London.

I must admit all southern African accents sound much the same to me.

Yes, I agree. Botswanian/Zimbabwean sound the same to me.
