Delighted to have had a chat with you Ted. As to your accent? I suppose I don't know or recognise many US State(area) accents, New York, and "the Confederate States" type would be about my limit, so yours is to me, an accent less American one, if that makes any sense. Most certainly easier to understand than certain accents in the UK!

Sorry Alan, its true my accent is as English as English. A mixture of English public school, British army and English agriculture!
