The British Library is tracking how pronunciation is changing in Britain, using of all things the Mr Men book, Mr Tickle. Volunteers are being asked to record a chapter from a Mr Man book to see how certain words and accents are changing.
The library wants as many people as possible to record the opening paragraphs of children's book Mr Tickle to track differences in vowel sounds.
Maybe our next reading session should be Mr Tickle.
