I'd crash. I'd be so busy playing with the satnav to get Hayley to sing that I'd forget to look where I was going!  Hello Elliot!   If you miss the car ferry, Hayley will sing "The water is wide!"  Richard  |

I'd be too fascinated in hearing how she pronounces all her words. I always find myself trying to imitate accents. New Zealand, Australian, British, etc. I'm better at the New York accent, but I really don't like the sound of it.

Richard That'd be me alright! "But officer, I can explain! I was just trying to get my satnav to sing to me, and... Uh... You know what? Never mind!" |

Welsh gives me real problems because it's so up and down all the time, so it takes me a while to 'zone in', as it were. New Zealander is a slightly more musical version of Australian. Kinda. Which could explain the exceptionally more musical Hayley, I suppose! |

Hello Elliot! I've heard a rumour that Hayley's just recorded "We all live in a yellow submarine!"  She must be familiar with your driving! Richard |

New Zealander is a slightly more musical version of Australian. Kinda. Which could explain the exceptionally more musical Hayley, I suppose! The musical appeal of different languages is a very interesting subject. For example Italian sounds good in music, so does Welsh. If by "New Zwalander" you mean English, yes, I like Hayley's accent, but Maori really is a beautiful sounding language. And that is the language in which I first heard Hayley sing, and I'm sure part of the reason she made such a huge impression on me. So to get back on topic, lets have a Maori SatNav with Hayley's voi$ce! It would certainly be as useful as my daugters, which misdirected me against my own navigational instinct. I was right, I eventually had to turn round. I think I'll stick to navigating my instinct and the sun. More reliable!. Martin D |

'Top Secret' would be a terrific name for a Hayley album, actually, wouldn't it? Someone should suggest that to her.

Martin - yes, I meant the English New Zealand accent. I am totally unfamiliar with Maori. Outside of the Haka (Did I spell that right?) England hears very little of it, generally.

Well, Hayley sings several song in Maori, and even wrote a lyric that was partly in that language. The first song I ever heard her sing was in Maori. I think it is a beautiful language. Martin D |
