Many people every month try for that, the BBC actually have their own speech trainers and vocal recording experts who analyse the voice of everyone who undergoes testing, they assess suitability for tv airtime and radio airtime, its very difficult to get in as a newsreader because the criteria for voices is stringent plus you have to be a complete moronic twat that wants to be really cliquey and middle class prats who just get right up each others arseholes to want the job
Bitter? I like a good local ale while I'm playing snooker....yes, and skateboarding...and please don't tell me that America invented skating because my Grand dad saw somebody on a board in Manchester in 1942, it was home made but this puts skating in Britain well before the hype.
At christmas my grandad used to roast his nuts by an open fire and because they were so poor he couldnt afford nutcrackers - so he would crack the walnuts in his buttocks. I like the British tradition of putting up with a load of crap no European country would put up with - third rate food at the supermarkets. 4th rate government services. 3rd rate public transport - and people who vote conservative - all these things are what help britain smell the way it does
