In a poll this week about pilots' voices, a clipped Home Counties accent was voted the best of all in the survey of 1,000 regular travellers. There were also a preference for certain regional accents, with the Scottish lilt taking scond place and the Republic of Ireland taking third.
The celebrity voice passengers found most reassuring was that of upper class actor Nigel Havers, followed by Sean Connery. Stephen Fry, Patrick Stewart, Hugh Grant and Ewan McGregor all made the top ten.
Nigel is due back on our screens in Corrie in a few weeks time, when his character gets punched in the face by Deirdre Barlow!
