I know what you mean Ann.
I have had 2 ops. on my ears and some accents and tones are difficult to follow.
A phone call to OH at lunchtime meant I was watching the local news with subtitles.

When you actually need them as I sometimes do if the programme is really low or I don't want to disturb others in the room, they can be annoying. Some programmes are totally out of sinc.

Sometimes we use the subtitles on TV and at times the news reports make for interesting reading....Not unlike some of the enumerators writings or the census transcriptions.
They are probably using a Soundex type system and today's lunchtime captions were a gem.

Instead of reporting on a Sussex vicar, subtitles mentioned 'a sausage filler'.
