Well given the whole thing is a student project run by and for Indian school kids I think the accent is perfectly acceptable.

that does give it a different complexion ,in which case well done.

....

you think if we started releasing poor quality voice overs in Urdu we wouldn't get the mick taken out of us?

Bob originally refers to cheap and poor quality labour imported to cut costs . The fact so many examples come from India is an observation many people make a result of the trend started by Blair and Mandelson in their relentless quest to reduce costs at any price.

FTFY

And a trend that has continued under our beloved Tories who can deflect the blame by saying 'it was that Cable wot did it'.

Really dislike the racial tone around the 'Bob' stuff on here.

Are you a professional? If so start acting like one.

It's General - you can be as racist as you want round here and get away with it.

Second post of the thread and it's a holier-than-thou panty-wetter already. A dreadfully butch one at that.

"Start acting like one." So masterful.

I really dislike witchfinders desperately trying to be offended but I guess we've all got our crosses to bear.

Sad but true. In general anything goes. Much like a primary school playground.

And I think they would have the interests of the UK more at heart.

I work in a team of 8 of which 6 come from India. One of the guys was telling me how he was in India speaking in Hindi to someone. The guy was ignoring him. So he switched to English(American?) and got what he wanted.

Indians love and respect the UK. Not sure why after the way we treated them....
