Have a word with Sandy Possum.
She won't break into your shed for you, but she might be able to "find" a copy.

Casi, I can't count the amount of times I've been identified as an Antipodean!
Limey & DanaC can confirm I do NOT affect an Australian drawl or say pin instead of pen. Some people are just bad at identifying accents.

Oh. I can sometimes be one of them. Confusing a character with a broad Geordie accent as someone Welsh

Neither do we...that's the New Zealanders. I remember once, I had a NZer sitting next to me on a plane. At that stage of my life, I was unfamiliar with the differences in the NZ accents. Said fellow passenger asked for something that sounded like /pin/. My geniune response was "sorry, I don't normally carry them around with me." We cleared up that particular misunderstanding fairly quickly.

Is it fellow Brits who have been confused as to the origins of your accent?

Psssst, where do they speak Geordie?
