Ken is an east coast thing.
I don't like it either.

I really love you British people. I've been to Scotland, Wales and England. I live in Canada, which is quite pleasant, as long as one doesn't travel to the U.S.

How does traveling to the U.S. make living in Canada unpleasant?
Seems like there's plenty of sheep in Canada as well....

I see what you did there.
It’s hard to blame you. MAGA is making America ugly again. I’m about to up sticks and return to Europe for retirement.

We could start with, Eeee by gummmmmmm, if it helps?
No, doesn't help. I am from the 'home counties' so don't have an accent! I say 'barth' and 'graass'.
My parents were both from London, though, so I drop my 'H's; like 'ope' and 'otel'. It's also bloody 'ot' today!
It’s an hotel, old chap, an hotel
