When I was in Sydney in December for my whirlwind holiday, a few people mentioned that I have picked up a pommie accent. I know that this isn't offensive in any way whatsoever, but I do find it annoying, mainly because I don't think it's a topic of conversation or even small talk (like my glasses or my hair colour) and partly because I seriously don't believe I have an English accent.

So imagine my horror today when I received an email from an old friend of mine who was writing to thank me for calling her yesterday. (I haven't spoken to her in over two years and I had left her a very short message to say hi.) She innocently wrote , "It was  very funny to hear your "British English accent" !!!! hahaha, you've become English yeah? "

 AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My dear friends, please stop telling me that I have magically acquired an English accent.No one in the UK seems to think so and I've had it with people telling me this useless piece of inaccurate information.

The next time I hear this, I may have to kill someone.

You have been warned.

p.s. yes I know that I'm making a big deal out of nothing and I am being overly sensitive for no reason but you know how it is...........
