j/k I can imitate a fair few accents, imitating the Sth african accent is tricky though, often you end up doing the indian accent by accent. Weird.

821649 2009-10-19 06:49:00 I gave a series of lectures in the US over 4-5 years and after each of the events, women would come up to me and comment in how they just adored my accent. Always women, never men, and Yanks can't just like, they have to go right over the top!!

This was rather amusing so after the first few I added a few words to my intro saying this was my xx visit and how much I liked America, but the thing that really got me about their country was that they all had accents and in fact I was the only person in the room that didn't have an accent!

Wasted on the women though, they never offered to buy me a drink, or invite me back to their room to see their etchings either. Must have been something I said.

Cheers

Well that Lion isn't a Dragon!
It's the symbol of the Czech Republic:

But there are reputed to be ancient links between Wales and the Czech Republic. Maybe the lion-dragon is one of them.

Coldot...You are right of course. It was the bright red that did it. See Welsh Dragon as my Avotar. PJ

I must admit that young NZ girls do have their own accent, and I read or saw some where the other day that young females tend to lead the way of speaking of a country !

What annoys me about them is the "Croaky" voice, adopted over the last year or so,which is sometimes impossible to understand.

Not like me at the same age...Perfect Pitch, Tone & Pronunciation. Modest as well as handsome & intelligent. What do you mean "Do I tell lies as well?" PJ :rolleyes:
