Yeah; I didn't have trouble with it particularly, but two things I noted:
1) He has a very strong trill to his rhotic "r", which I think must be put on for effect.
2) Does he have a slightly South African accent? I think he left South Africa at a young age (three, maybe?) so it seems odd that he still would at 60, but I'm not sure.
- bencollier49 10y agoYes, I wasn't sure about the rolled r. I could certainly make it out once I had shifted gear, but I have extremely received pronunciation myself; I wonder what someone with a more modern ear would make of it.
