Part of the fun of watching these election results is getting a tour of British place names. Right now, they’re announcing results from Houghton (pronounced “HO-ton”) and Washington East (pronounced “Washington East”).
Something interesting: when they announce the results from a constituency, the candidates all stand on stage together and listen to the results being read, instead of watching the results from their individual party headquarters.
I’m also enjoying the tour of British accents–we just cut from a Labour party member with a Scottish burr to a Torry with a rich plummy accent. Now we’re onto a man who (I think) has an Oxbridge accent overlaying a native Scots one.
