	Oh Mags, Kiwi girl, you do! I used to go out with a Kiwi diver working in UK and his accent was wonderful. Mine is Norfolk but with a bit of Buckinghamshire in cos my Dad never quite lost his accent despite living in Norfolk for over 40 years but I have been mistaken for an Aussie before now lol Because I worked as a p.a. and a receptionist/telephonist among other jobs, I think I have lost a bit of the broadness of the Norfolk accent but if I am talking to broad people it comes back lol I also tend to pick up an Essex or London accent when with friends from there.

Also spend a lot of time among Irish people so have some Irish 'tics' in my speech as well. With that plus the Belgian and Bengali in my lineage, I guess I'm a bit of a mongrel! S
