I was staggered as they spoke with a BBC English accent.

When people say anything about my accent, English predominantly, my response is "I don't have an accent, this is the original sound"!! Friends of ours, he sounds Canadian, his wife sounds as though she hadn't long come from Germany and they have been here since they were 18.

A pity you can't just ring up and get things done! Would have been nice to have surgery with a familiar surgeon. <br />Accents are funny. I sometimes mistake Scots and Irish accents when someone has been in Australia for quite some time and the rough edges have been softened. I can usually pick Canadian by their big hollow vowels as compared to the US more nasaly vowels. That's how I hear it.<br />So you keep chomping on those leeks Jo while you get those surgeons sorted! Take care...:-)Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-28116860098775007922016-01-20T15:50:12.434-05:002016-01-20T15:50:12.434-05:00I am glad your hip is feeling better and, as you w...I am glad your hip is feeling better and, as you wait, I guess the exercises will help out especially with your back. I feel I don't have an accent at all but once, years ago, when I was in Michigan visiting relatives, a family friend of their said i have a strong Canadian accent. I think he is wrong:) Hahahaaa.

I have always assumed it's because my parents, aunt & Uncle, with whom I spent the most time, were from New York (well technically my dad is from S. America but I never noticed his Caribbean accent. my friends did). Then I lived out west for over 20 years and I seem to have a west coast/Canadian/midwest hybrid accent now.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-81573211290511340262016-01-20T02:56:46.864-05:002016-01-20T02:56:46.864-05:00Hi Jo - good luck with the hip and the back, the e...Hi Jo - good luck with the hip and the back, the exercises are the important bit in the meantime.
