Your Letters
As a child of the 80s/90s, I clearly remember my parents banning any form of 'accent' on television. Sesame Street, Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles... even Eastenders. Though distraught at the time, I'm glad that they did. My job involves working with children on a regular basis, and I notice that some of them have distinct American twangs to their voices, particularly the girls, due to the influences of Hannah Montana and the High School Musicals. Rant over.

Yes, there are still people who call it Ashburton Grove.
