Mystery Accent

[KittyGlitter]

What is that annoying accent meant to be on the Kia car advert? She says something about making people more jolly. Think I'll file this one under annoying ads.

[Nummy]

i think it's French.

It sounded to me like somene is pretending to be Bjork and failing miserably.

[Cetti]

It doesn't sound French, more like Dutch or perhaps one of the Scandinavian countries.

Isn't it the same accent as the woman on the Lurpak (?) advert giving a tray of something or other to the old ladies sat around the table?

[Piper-AK]

I thought Lurpak woman was meant to be doing a (bad) French accent?!

[Polotoo]

We thought it was icelandic - like Bjork! No idea why though - agree its very annoying.

Or might be eastern european - ooohhh you've started a debate here and I'm missing Robbie!

[Cetti]

It could well be French - but it's a very peculiar one as she doesn't rrrrrrrr her r's!

[rjrakr]

I think its sweedish

I just thought I'd check this myself after a new round of ads. I've trawled from Basingstoke to Mongolia and no such accent exists, she's putting it on as a joke and probably comes from Coventry. Until we can name the voice I can't prove it but I guessed Belgium's 'sanomi' in the Euro song contest was also made up and that was correct.

It just doesn't fit any accent on earth.
