>>On the same subject. I have occasionally seen "Frasier" and have been appalled by the presence of a woman who purports to be English - her accent is like nothing I have ever heard. I've been told that it is meant to be Manchester (in the North West of England) but as I come from that area I have to disagree.<<

Jane Leeves was born in London and appeared on British TV (Benny Hill, in non-speaking roles) but left for the US as a teenager and has thus been corrupted by US TV. I heard her being interviewed very recently and she sounds just the same as on 'Frasier'.
