Arguments for:

  • Re arg against: it does sound a LOT like Ringo Starr, and it doesn't take a lot to make any sort of Beatles connection from there.
  • Re: Re: Re: arg against: I don't think that you could name any other Liverpudlians that are as well-known as the Beatles... or that even come close. Sorry, but your argument's just way too shallow.

Arguments against:

  • This is a voice that might sound like Ringo Starr and might be a vague reference to a situation where someone might have said such a line. It is not a direct quote or reference.
  • Re Re arg against: What? Because the accent has the same characteristics as hundreds of thousands of people from the same area as Ringo? And why is it so easy to make a Beatles connection here? Because it's about the British? I just don't see it. It's too TTATOTey for me.

Additional comments:

  • Does anyone else feel this should be reworded a bit? If it's accepted then it should just say it's a reference, not it COULD be a reference.
    • Overruled! Many pages' Fun Facts state that things could be a reference to something else. In many cases, it would be impossible to know if it is/isn't a reference unless you're TBC, which you aren't. You can't just assume that something's a reference, because when you assume, you make a... well, you know.
