Hi Phil,

I may have been "confused" at the time of writing. I didn't recognize a 
Farnworth accent in the clip, which is generally pretty distinct - like 
Peter Kay's. I went to primary school in Darcy Lever a mile or so away and 
my dad worked at a timber works in Moses Gate, Farnworth, but that was a 
long time ago and the local accent may have changed since then. I was 
somewhat confused by what was being said too, but that's probably me not 
following programmes on TV. I suspected the clip was generated by AI, but 
could be quite wrong.

If I am wrong I apologise to anyone I may have offended and certainly to 
Diane who I have heard speak with an accent reconizably from the area.
