It's funny - everyone always remarks on my accent, while I sometimes listen to things back and wince at the pronunciation. I'm usually aiming for RP (BBC English) but sound more like North London (Owen, sort of) at least to my ears. But then, I listen to the Australian readers and think how fantastic they sound, so I guess it's all relative :D
Anyhoo, thank you! Glad you enjoyed and I'll see if I can get through any more soon.

Exactly! An accent's only interesting when it comes from somewhere you're not from. It's all relative. (Perfect example is me growing up: I'd always been told I had a English accent -- dad's English -- until I visited cousins in England, who were amazed by the Australian accent.)
