I can't really comment on the accent because I'm British too. The
southern accent is a little off-putting at times.

Could you attempt a northern accent? I would prefer Broad Yorkshire,
though I'll also accept Mancunian.

When you get to MoS 19, can you talk like a pirate?

Seriously though, I don't think you need to change things too much. The
pace of recent screencasts have been much better than some of the
earlier ones.
