Sounds like english bits mixed with cracker?

I love the bit where he says "I just pull the handles to see what happens" :nonchalance:

That's because Georgia was one of the earliest colonies. The accent has lots of English influence, whereas later (18th century) waves of migration from the British Isles contained large components of what the Americans call Scots Irish, i.e. Ulster Protastants of Scottish origin, who had had to move on when their populations became too large for the lands on which they had been planted in the 17th century.
If you compare the accents of Mid-Ulster and Middle America you will find them almost indistinguishable

I hope you lot watching Tally Ho are contributing. Leo is quite an amazing young man with remarkable skills and forbearance and he deserves to succeed with this project. His videos are very entertaining and he clearly feels a responsibility to entertain boaties even when he is not working on the main project. I have unfortunately, never met him and have no interest other than being entertained by his antics. But I am certain that with support this is one of the few "hopeless projects" that will reach fruition. --- Contribute.

+1. I watched the whole series from the beginning over a week when the weather was bad. Really entertaining and well worth a few quid. The guy in Georgia came across as a really bright spark, perhaps not educated to his full potential.

 

[NormanB]

He is a clever lad is young Leo.

Georgia was largely colonised by Scottish settlers - my father did some of the early research on this at the University of Georgia in the 50s. The Scottish influence on America is quite marked - for example, the principal thoroughfare of America towns, like Scottish towns, is "Main Street", not "High Street" as it is in England, and the American, like the Scots, use -ize at the end of words where the English use -ise.
