Heh, I remember the sound over here (The Netherlands) sounding just slightly different. Probably differences in negotiation? Amazing what nuances the brain can pickup when exposed to something often enough.
- Symbiote 9y agoThere are some other versions here [1], but nothing I could find easily on Youtube -- even a BBC article from earlier this year was using the same recording as this article.
