According to the Kokomo Tribune, I do "a bad job faking a British accent."
I thought my faking was pretty darn fine, to be honest.
The local ABC affiliate also has a news story on the display, including a video and slideshow.
Update Friday morning: The writer from the Tribune apologizes. Kind of...
" ... the narrator of the YouTube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-wYP1U_dNo, I'm told on authority, actually is English. I said he sounded like an American trying to sound British. Sorry mate, Rule Britannia and all that, eh?"

You fooled me during your time at Southampton.
I daresay that you also managed to fool your parents - go you.
It's your Westcountry burr.
well I'm fooled too - damn impostor with your fake accent :-)
touchy aren't they!
I suppose this is an example of the flip side of having an 'accent' - when rambling about vinegar, tree stumps and cricket its good - dare to criticise the loch ness monster and it becomes snarky!
Well there we go - I find the same in Baltimore from time to time but I do my best never to be drawn into anything political, military or loch ness monster based.
At least you didn't record the clip with a French accent. Ahhh merde! c'est le monstre du Loch Ness (de la nativity) hee haw hee haw, bonnet de douche Rodney.
I'm loving the international incident though - tremendous work!
Heh mate, you're a local celebrity, a local 'bete noire', to carry on the French theme! A career in the media beckons...
Post a video of yourself singing some Christmas Carols - then they'll get to hear your real Westcountry accent!
Duncan, the video is great! I've passed it on to friends/family and everyone loves it. And we love your fake accent, too. :) You're quite the Kokomo sensation now, eh?
