I agree Mark. Some of it is a great Manx accent but a lot is Scouse! I certainly don't talk like that, fella. Nor do I live in Peel or Foxdale, yessir.

I think this is really funny, but it's a pity a person with a real Manx accent couldn't have been used. I think the reason is that only the Manxies would have understood him so fewer would have found it funny.

We used to have a chap use our garage for the Manx, his name was Roger Ashby and the year that Barry Wood, a local lad with a Manx accent, was interviewed on Manx Radio as to his performance in the race, Roger couldn't understand a word of what Barry said. Roger was from Buckinghamshire, a real southerner.

It must be south, Roger and his mechanic, Dave, used to wear an extra jumper and their overalls while preparing the bike for the next practise or race, and still complain about being cold. They reckoned it was an overcoat colder here on the Island, while the locals were wearing T shirts and shorts.
