I'll have to remember that when I am in Sidney in June....

Of course, if I remember correctly, most Ozzies feel that the Yanks have a bit of an accent that they don't mind listening to....Or at least, that is the impression I got when my daughter arrainged for a phone call in which we answered the phone while one of her adopted grandmothers listened....
