Is Spike from New York? I didn't recognise the accent as being as -
well - abrasive as that of the New Yorkers. Also I seem to remember
(possibly in "At Last a Dragon") that Spike had a lobster on top of
something in his room. Isn't this a symbol of Maine? I dunno - any
info from US viewers would be greatly appreciated.
