    I have just seen Armand Leroi present a programme on UK TV. He said he was Dutch but has no foreign accent, but a totally unlocatable British one. Does anyone know its true origin?

    		It will be a bit of a mixture as Armand Marie Leroi was born on 16 July 1964 in Wellington, New Zealand. A Dutch citizen, his youth was spent in New Zealand, South Africa and Canada.

    		Thanks SM- I'm normally very good on accents if English is the first language, and this was the hardest to pin down I've heard- now I can see why!

    Gillian Anderson (Scully in X files) was born in Chicago and clearly speaks in the programme with an American accent. Then I heard her interviewed on the BBC (on the radio) and she had a perfect English accent. Are there two Gillian Andersons, did I confuse her with another guest or is there a logical explanation?

    In American infomercials, why do British pitch-men seem to have the same accent? And what accent is it?

    Is it true that the presenter of CITV programme "Art Attack" plays in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal band Marseille?
