Ugh! I don’t think Major Robert of the USArmy Corps of Engineers would sound anything like the thickly-accented UK reader of his text.

Is that Cockney?

For an American English speaker/listener, the complexity of the text and thoughts already demand close attention, but with such an accent, I suspect most listeners like myself will have to work even ‘aarder to catch all that is said. That makes understanding come only at a tiring price.

Too bad the playback doesn’t seem to allow speed-up and slow-down.
