Every time I read a news story about the new mayor of London I get a little excited because I think that
will be making sure the Tube runs on time from now on

The Olympics would be more interesting under their reign, all events would assess ability to rock the fuck out. I think I'd enter the 100 minute drone.

Well, I'm a NZer so I'm nowhere bloody near the UK but I have to say last time I was in London it was so fucking good... I'd just been in Austria for 2 weeks visiting family, which was great, then Rome for a few days which I wasn't so enraptured with but it was gorgeous, but after that being in London was like being back home. The accents were similar, everyone spoke English, they drive on the left and have lots (OK, too many) roundabouts and everyone avoids your eyes! Not all good things but relaxing for the similarities.
I don't try and put on an accent but I do try and eliminate the NZ twang. I can't stand it. And I've had a few immigrants ask me what country I was born in so obviously I've succeeded on some level.

I have a kiwi in my year at school, he's been here, in Australia for about 3 years now. The accent is almost gone.
Yay assimilation!
Fenriswolf:
lol Well, y'know, depending where you're from the accent's not that different. I met a friend of a friend who was from Melbourne and I honestly hadn't realised he wasn't a NZer until he pointed it out! I tend to pick up accents ridiculously quickly, but only if I like them :|
