The War of the Roses is over? Not round here it's not.

I'm going by 'soap opera' theory in my casting choice. Have you ever noticed how the casting folk for soaps don't seem to have a grasp of accents? Otherwise Coronation Street, which is apparently in Manchester, would not be seemingly populated by Tykes.

Of course, Boromir could have got his accent from his mum; this is possible if she did the lion's share of raising him. Or maybe Denethor was putting on a 'telephone voice'? That sounds most likely, as there are parallels between Minas Tirith and Sheffield - one has seven levels, the other seven hills...
