James May and Was not wuz

[GTIR]

In a sentence he says "Wuz" instead of "Was"

I have noticed this recently and now I always notice it and its annoying me!

Where is he from, is this normal, do I need to chill, am I getting old and grumpy?

[Muntu]

It makes my st itch too.

[AlexKP]

I truly have much more important things to think about.

[skip_1]

Bristol or thereabouts I believe?

[mybrainhurts]

Blimey...he's a pirate

[kaese]

but other than that he's well spoken - perhaps it's one of those so-called 'upper class' accents, where they remove all the vowels from their sentences...

Brizzle indeed. You probably *do* need to get out more if this winds you up tho'!

How odd that you spent time doing that.

And your point is....?

It an accent, many people have them.

ie, South Africans don't have a special colour called Bleck, it's just their way of saying black.

Accents vary around the country shocker!

It is a veritable "Postcode lottery" (god I hate that phrase).
