I'm a kiwi and I can understand both of them just fine.

That was just a noise to him but it was the queens language to me I understood every word that came oot of his mouth :)

@BunnaySango Funny, but that actually comes from the Scottish influence to the Geordie accent -- and a lot of people from that area also settled in Canada.

@robsargent4 Simon Greenall is his name, he also does the Meerkat 'Simples' voice and pops up in lots of BBC sketch shows.

Aboot? And here I thought that was a Canadian thing.

Have no idea how authentic it is, but it lines up with Viz, so I understood him perfectly.

@Cashback13 I had a suspicion he wasn't a real Geordie, but it's still entertaining. whit's the actor's name by the way?

@kieren72401 to right we do lol
Wow! What a fabulous accent, though I could understand almost nothing. It's okay though. I am an American who traveled in England one summer, and I was astounded in the varieties of English that I heard, and in such a small country as England. You have to listen carefully and wrap your ears around different accents, but it's a lot of fun to experience and explore different countries and people. Thanks for posting this.

I'm Canadian and I understood that rather nicely. Funny as hell though.
