England Six - Text

White male, forties, born and raised in Rushden, Northamptonshire. He is a Cambridge-educated archaeologist and had lived for several years in London, Glasgow, and Cairo where he was recorded by Krista Scott on 6/30/99. There is a hint that he is affecting a strong "country" Northamptonshire in that he also changes the grammar of the Rainbow Passage to imitate vernacular speech. Edited by Paul Meier 11/05/99. Running time 00:03:18.
