to hate the hosts on cooking programmes....

[EssexEmmaB]

Doing the accent of the country of origin of the product they are talking about?? Just that really! For example the girl on more4's italian top 10 foods has a slight welsh accent- which is lovely btw-but keeps putting on a fake, over exaggerated accent of the country that food comes from every time she has to pronounce a non English word!! I probably am being unreasonable but im fixated on it and the next word not the actual program!

I hate it when they try and say foreign place names in the local accent on the news. Yanbu

I'm so glad I'm not the only one!

I watched that. The presenter was brought up in Wales, but she is of Italian origin & was shown speaking Italian, so I think it is fair enough that she pronounces the sorts of pasta or dishes she is cooking in the Italian way.

She is Welsh/Italian so if anyone is allowed to "put on" an Italian accent then it's her.

YABU.

Mel Giedroyc was on Room 101 discussing this - very funny, clip might be on YouTube

Hahahaha - perhaps you should have checked first OP! She's speaking exactly as she might be expected to speak

Did you not notice her very Italian surname by the way?

It's not just her though, she was my example at the time and just reminded me how much I hated it. But if she's italian fair enough!

And I have a look on YouTube now. Thanks for that
