Happy to take the Brit gibes - we get worse from the Aussies.
Heh.

My wife and I played a lot of league tennis in years past. In one tournament we were matched against a couple with obvious accents. As we met at the net just before the start of the match I commented to the guy that I had a hard time understanding an Australian accent. He replied, very frostily, "I'm British". Don't know why that irritated him.
