What kind of accent does he have? I'm not very familiar with the differences between English accents cos it's not my mother tongue (and in Russia the language isn't that different in different corners of the country as it is in England)... And what are the main differences in prononciation in different accents?

Neil has a soft North East (or Geordie) accent

I'm pretty sure you know how to pronounce every word I could throw at you. I just said you didn't explain very weel how that was. But I suppose you don't really have to be nice about all this. I put 'threat' on repeated listens on my CD and I still hear a 's' at the end ofthe word and a 'er' sound instead of 'ea', but I did finally gather that most of you English people don't.
