  On a side note... There is no such thing as a British accent, nor shall there ever be one. People just get confused at his upside down English :P

  None, really. I live in Europe myself, just thought it was a funny observation?

  I hate how people mix up Australian and British accents. They sound NOTHING alike, and I don't want to be associated with them

  I'll admit that when I first started playing I thought that UWE was an Australian company. Hugh is the most prominent member of the dev team.

  They thought an Australian accent was British?
  
  They thought England was in Europe?

  Someone once told me out of the blue that Tetris was made by Russians
  
  I kept it light, but my real feelings at the time where to ask him why he thought that was important

  New Zealand is either British, or if the subject thinks they are knowledgeable AU.
  
  BTW: anyone ever play on the New Zealand servers?

  Last time I went to Australia at customs I was asked If I had a criminal record to which I replied "I did not realise that was still a requirement" lets just say that 1 strip search later I realised that was a bad idea...

  The rest of us are able to distinguish at least some of your US regional accents, meanwhile you lot can't tell the difference between UK, AU, NZ, SA or non natives speaking English, let alone any of the regional accents within these countries/groups. That's pretty shameful IMO!
