I am from Yorkshire! I didn't even recognise where his accent was from.
I am bad like that. I just can't recognise where accents are from!

I think Leighton's a Lancashire lad isn't he? At least that's what he sounds like to me, but I'm not that hot on accents either...I'm an in-betweener..East Midlands..
[Sharp intake of breath] BusyMum - our Leighton, a Lancashire lad? Ye gods! :wink: Like my good self (and Angel - welcome :wave
he is most definitely from God's Own County. Bradfordian born and bred, started with a salon down Ivegate or somewhere similar. In the lead up to his first appearance on QVC Alison Young really hyped him and the range up, and I remember imagining that with his name and products he would be some tall, dark, suave chap, then he appears grinning and waving at the camera and going "hiyeeeer" in a broad Bradfordian accent! I remember falling about with laughter and asking OH whether I sounded like him (apparantly I don't, having been away from Bradford for so long and indeed now residing over the other side of the Pennines like a complete traitor
.) I love his products though, prefer them to any other range, and think he really does know his stuff.
Anyroad, enjoy your time here Angel, you'll find a lot of good humour and fantastic info on this forum. I remember someone once - I think it was SilverSequin - saying that if you're ever feeling you're being unduly tempted into a QVC purchase log on to the forum first, someone's bound to be able to talk you out if it if that's what you want! :nod:
