That's classic - it must have been really hard losing the chinese accent! Or was it the scottish you wanted to lose? (I'm hiding now before Stew reads this........)
My Mum was born is Inverness. She lived in Fort William, Kent, Edinburgh then Aberdeen so doesn't have much of an accent!
Have a look to see if you can find a link to Tich McCooey on Moray Firth Radio! He's ace!
Or Hector Brocklebank..that will make you chuckle
