[QUOTE="Every Time Ref, post: 949829, member: 71826"] No offence taken. I’m not sure what point you are making with this though? Genuine question Also, I’ve met quite a lot of South Africans (not as many as you, obviously) and I’ve never spoken to one brought up in SA who had an English accent - notwithstanding there are hundreds of different English accents plus various Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish. Not to question you, but I wonder if it’s just that coming from different places we have a different idea of what an “English” accent sounds like? In the same way that (say) an Aussie who lives here for 10 years still sounds full-on Australian to me, but when they go home for Christmas all their friends and family rip on them for speaking like a bloody Pom??
