I thought I would enlighten you all in the ways of the Pom (another word for an Englishman/woman). Over the last two and a bit years I have been in London my accent has softened. To the English I still sound Australian, but to my Aussie friends I sounds English. I can't win! I like the way my accent sounds at the moment. I never had a harsh Aussie accent to start with.

lolly ice block/ice cream
sweet lolly
trousers pants
pants underpants
thong g-string
flip-flops thongs
rota roster
That's all I can think of for now. I shall post more when I can get my brain in gear.
We had lots of kiddies in at work today. I made them giggle when I told them the computers only had tiny brains and could not cope when the kids put too many fingers on the touch screens.
