I'm pretty good with accents but only after a few good sentences. And being from England (and living in NZ) I'm aware of how patriotic NZ-types are when they get asked if they're from Australia while they're overseas! I recently accidentally asked an American if they were from Canada, and purely because the last three times I'd asked if a Canadian was from American and I got quite a reaction each time! So this time I tried to play it safe and it turned out they were from New York. D'oh! P.s. found you on twitter. I'm www.twitter.com/marklincoln I have to admit, I’m guilty of this too!
