katana Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 Not stopping DIY conversions - its sales of decent / powerful V8 cars - most manufacturers are switching to turbo V6's which just don't have the right noise if you get my drift!

Same here all our V8 muscle cars are no more. They import the Mustang like they do there but that's about it. We don't even have GM any more.

Hahaha I listen to the Queens speech every year and she no sound like that! Im getting better at the accents and trying to learn the differences. Im always amazed at the diversity of accents there so closely grouped together in the UK. We dont seem to have any regional cultural identity like they do there which is a shame. You can fly 5000km to the other side of the country and they sound the same. With my grandfather (whom I never met) being from Lancashire I wonder what accent I would have had?

katana Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 I did think that about Australian accent - you obviously have one but as you say, it doesn't vary much which is odd as pretty much every language has regional variations that can be detected by natives. I'm off to visit my cousins up in Norfolk in a few weeks and that accent can baffle me sometimes even the syntax of sentence construction is backwards! I can imitate the accent quite well but its the syntax thing that I can't do which is so noticeable to a native speaker. It is remarkable that for such a small island the massive diversity of accents we do have - it's what makes us so interesting LOL! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NudgerSS Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 @Rally Pack 2000 I've come up to Queensland and they definitely speak different to around Sydney. Much more the Crocodile Dundee stereotypical Aussie accent I think. Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
