　　The producer appeared behind the recording studio window and smiled and waved to me like an old friend. And after I had read out a little test piece, he said, 揟hat ’s fine, wonderful, your voice is perfect, lovely, wonderful.?Then I read a longer passage in English about the delights of touring in Britain, and another about the delights of visiting London, and both were揺xcellent?and搄ust right? and I began to consthoseider a job in radio.

　　To be honest, I was fairly sure of myself though I lacked experience. Across the room in the Hamburg News Agency where we both worked, a friend named Peter Turner called to me, “I say, Mike, a man on the phone here wants someone to do a recording in English, and I’m booked up. Would you read something to him in English as a sort of test?”I did, and they said“ Perfect, lovely, wonderful, ... ”Would I come round?

　　It was after reading their passage in English in the studio that they noticed my vowel pronunciations were not altogether King’s English, or even Prince Philip’s, there was a larger silence than usual, then the voice said: 揊ine, lovely... , but you said the wordc’castle’with a short慳? Could we have the passage again please, but this time say 慶arsele??ut yoThis was easy. But then he noticed other differences in my pronunciation.

　　“It’s my northern English accent, ”I said, angry, because I had to apologize for it.
