[QUOTE="Bob Crowley, post: 76083688, member: 383390"] A friend of mine is a Kiwi, but you wouldn't know it to talk to her. She told me once that she made a deliberate effort to adopt an Aussie accent when she came here (possibly to avoid the Kiwi jokes...). A few years ago though one of her brothers came over and he stayed with her family for a while. The next time I spoke to her, the Kiwi accent was quite noticeable. She'd picked it up again from her brother. But since he's now moved on, she's reverted to her Australian accent again. PS - And if we're going to talk about British accents, many many moons ago I had a job in a factory producing potato crisps. It was a school holiday job. Anyway one of the regular staff was a bloke who originally hailed from Manchester. Honestly I could hardly understand a word he said. [/QUOTE]
