I find JOhn James voice more grating, I always liked the aussie accent until I had to listen to him blather on for the past few weeks. Now his voice grates.

Sam has a funny way of speaking I don't mind him at all. I don't even mind Corin's voice it's her limited vocabulary thats annoying.

Sam sounds very... special.

Can't stand his voice.

Sam speaks in what is known as Estuary English.

I find it a bit grating. An inability to pronounce the letter O as "oh" is a feature. Hence he says J-eye-sie instead of J-oh-sie.

You are right,he isn,t a cockney.He,s from Folkestone.
