Beeb should themselves a fortune - ditch Lineker and give her the job. Lineker can host the daily politics show instead...ah no he wont be able to as it requires displayed impartiality

It does seem to be an Australian thing. I remember quite a few Olympics ago, the Australian swimmer Ian Thorpe was part of a commentary team and his tendency to do this all the time became very annoying.
The producers of Soccer Saturday decided that last weekends Stoke v Birmingham match should be analysed by someone who thought the away team was pronounced Berminum.
He repeats every sentence though which really bugs me
Shouldn’ ha be “alking abou”
I think that the glottal stop (or perhaps the glo'al stop) was a feature of Estuarese English (i.e. London and environs) and seems to have expanded nationwide. As for Aussie accents in 'Neighbours' being responsible for the insertion of a question mark (rather than just the raised inflection in the spoken word), that seems a tad fanciful to me. More people have watched Coronation Street and over a longer period but it doesn't seem to have left a national linguistic impression of any kind: nowt really

Talking about Coronation Street, who’s mentioned in nearly every episode but has never been seen?I think that the glottal stop (or perhaps the glo'al stop) was a feature of Estuarese English (i.e. London and environs) and seems to have expanded nationwide.

Rover?
Just joshing. Which is quite an interesting word and I've just read about its origin.Never seen either, old fruit
Willie Eckaslike
It's one of those words whose origin is only guessed at but which was in use in the mid-19th century in the States as a verb we are familiar with - and it was not committed to print until a few decades later.
And A. Oop?
Marginally preferable to "BirminGum", IMO
Please stand up Clinton Morrison :-/
That’s the bugger
Watched the Klopp interview with Skys Gail Davies yesterday, one of the worst interviewers I have seen, was forever nodding her head
Nieghbours had a attracted a far younger demographic than Coronation Street.I think that the glottal stop (or perhaps the glo'al stop) was a feature of Estuarese English (i.e. London and environs) and seems to have expanded nationwide.

Doesn’t everyone just record MOTD, and fast forward through all the drivel from the “experts” ?
Yes!!Doesn’t everyone just record MOTD, and fast forward through all the drivel from the “experts” ?
He sometimes goes a whole sentence without just vowel sounds - no consonants, it's so bad it's funny..
