White anting (undermining!), just thought of that one!
I'm originally from Australia (the land of black swans!) where apparently every thing unusual is normal! Now I live in The Netherlands, where we have boring old white swans!

Well that explains a lot , not only do the people from Australia talk with a funny accent they evidently has gotten confused on a lot of things from all the extra gravity that has to hold them on the earth since they are down under from most folks on the earth.
That accent they speak with must be from having to work so hard to speak, since the body is designed to work right side up not upside down.
Have you been able to lose that accent, if you did have it, now that you are in the Netherlands?
Ha ha, no you have it backwards! You guys have the funny accent from being upside down!
I didn't have a hugely strong accent to begin with so I'm not sure that it has changed much... Although non native English speakers do still have trouble when I say certain writers... Late and light sound the same to them!
