An OZ accent. Especially when it's singing Waltzing Matilda after a WC final victory. Ain't that right double-donut-seven?

Well, Miss Lecturer [img]tongue.gif[/img] , but there is definitely such a thing as "British Public school accent". Most prominent examples: Margaret Thatcher (even though I don't know if she ever attended a public school, but that is really besides the point) and Tim, my flatmate from London when I lived in Barcelona and he definitely had attended one. Mr. Blair's accent is actually quite satisfactorily snobbish as well.

And remember, people usually don't appreciate it when you mess with their dearly held stereotypes.

I could have nightmares wondering what your accent sounds like. Born in the USA, living in Australia. Ouch - that's gotta grate on the ears.

Didn't hear much of matilda in melbourne the other day. Mucho Swing Low Sweet Chariots though! [img]smile.gif[/img]
