Have I bored you with this story?

I use this term because my husband asks me not to tell it every time there's a bad accent on the tele, but just in case...

I was talking to someone who was doing a film at Addenbrooke's (some sort of patient info video) who was from East Harling originally. He said that he coached people on Norfolk accents, and no matter how much he went through the differences, and got them to the point of perfection, as soon as the real moment came, they'd always go rotic r and ooarrooarr.
