I think I must be quite good at adapting to regional accents - at one point a good few years ago now, when we had a query about something we had ordered, my colleagues tried and then waited so that I could call the lass on the 'phones at Beerming-gumingineeringsoo-ploys, or Birmingham Engineering Supplies as per the catalogue, as I seemed to have far more luck being understood than they had. It all worked in the end, but I remember thinking it was quite funny, as they really had no clue what was being said.
