Funnily enough Pete introduced me to Freddie and to begin with I was put off by his accent but have warmed to him now and enjoy what he does. I liked his recent Trans Alp adventures up north. Curious what you mean that you were put off by his accent? I'm from the US and am curious about the implications of English dialects and how they are interpreted within the UK. Please do elaborate. I may have been thinking the same thing as an American, lol! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The class system is alive and well in Britain.......and he sounds very "upper class". Rare to find them involved in motorcycling as it's usually seen as a working class / blue collar environment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also may accentuate it on purpose, to sound extra british, because he's a twat. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get lots of his sort down here for their Holibobs and they do sound like that in the real world. Normally much louder the Hooray twats. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sounds like a feckless twat, then you see him trying to do something on a bike and you realise he is a feckless twat. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
