I volunteer to join the team, to help with either of the above.

Hi Ron

yeah The Wren's a nice story, I'd be up for a translation and soundbite in
Estuary. Wait and see
what others think of the idea though - it would be a bit stupid if there was
a map with just two points on it in London and Hamburg though... ;)

Thanks, John and Gary.

See, Gary?  We can add Johannesburg or some other place in South Africa to
our list already. I'm please to see that two of my favorite people have
swung into action.

As far as I am concerned, we could have more than one recording for each
dialect, subdialect and place -- the more the merrier.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
