Indo-English
pzu,
No intrusion at all, Sir ! All are welcome in our Virtual Crewroom, so long as they bring something relevant to the feast - or seek advice from the Old Man in the Corner - or put him right when he's plain wrong !
Yes, I love what we used to call (in no mocking way) "Babu" English, with its wonderfully old-fashioned, P.G. Wodehouse-style expressions.
And they were taught to speak clear, grammatical English as you say, often by the good nuns or the Christian Brothers or others of that ilk (see, I'm doing it now). This is more than today's educational system here seems able to do, which in turn accounts for the preponderance of newsreaders of sub-continental descent who grace our TV screens.
And given a choice of a call-centre voice from the Gorbals or Bangalore, I know whom I'd choose ! (Yes, I know the Glaswegians can understand one another, but that doesn't help the rest of us - particularly those of us who live, like you and I, in God's own county).
I've taped Radio 4, will now settle down to enjoy.
What ho, chaps!
