We all have our likes and dislikes about the way other people speak, and everyone has something to say about 'correct' pronunciation.

And most importantly of all: what went wrong in Birmingham?Witty, authoritative and jam-packed full of fascinating facts, You Say Potato is a celebration of the myriad ways in which the English language is spoken - and how our accents, in so many ways, speak louder than words.
