Posted Dec 5, 2007 by pailaway - (an utterly gratuitous link in the evolutionary chain) This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 5 I have heard a few irish and scottish storytellers and I have noticed some commonality in the choice of accents for various characters 1 - the devil is always french 2 - the king is always british, but dim 3 - the king's evil advisor always has an oxford accent, and 4 - the hero is always irish or scottish ...ok, maybe not always, but often - and british films seem to favor the oxford accent for villains. <oxfordsmiley> Conversation list Most of the content on h2g2 is created by h2g2's Researchers, who are members of the public.
