Funnily enough, that's how Americans are, too. When we come home, we speak with an English accent.

Australians secretly changing back to British as soon as they step back in their homes just to fuck with Americans even more.

Jokes on you, most Americans can't even tell the difference.

Australians only do the accent when foreigners are around. With each other, the accent goes away and the Quokkas can be carnivorous again.

As a kiwi, I only do the accent so aussies can tell jokes about the number six

Do they really think we all speak RP?

I'm from the North East, if I go to see my lass down in Manchester there are numerous different accents and the name of bread buns changes five times

I totally drop my southern accent at home. I only use when I'm out just in case a tourist hears me. Don't want them to be disappointed.

London or Cornwall? Northerners will have wild views on both.

As a British person I do basically have two accents I primarily use.
