And the show he did for the BBC on Thursday night set out to prove why, and show once and for all that it is not through choice, whice was quite obvious anyway.
I found the programme very interesting, and John Barrowman does seem a down to Earth guy.
The thiong I want to say though is not about the show it self, but John....He has spent time in the States, and has picked up an American accent, bit returning to his birth town in Scotland, and speaking wioth his parents he slipped almost at once back into a scotish accent.
The same thing happens with Michelle. When we were married she left Mersyside to come and live in Rotherham where we set up home, her Scouce accent is pretty much gone now, untill she goes to visit her family and then she too at once becomes Scouce again.
I have an uncle who some years ago emigrated to Canada, and now when you speak to him on the telephone you would beleive you were speaking to a Canadian.
What is it about accents? How do they work? How can they change so fast? Anyone able to answer this?

an accent is a manner of pronunciation of a language. Accents can be confused with dialects which are varieties of language,
so sometimes people chose to pronunciate in their adopted countrys tounge
