--- Quote from: Gyro on August 29, 2024, 06:00:08 pm --- --- Quote from: videobruce on August 29, 2024, 05:40:48 pm ---I found it finally !!! Would you believe the name of the 'Blog" is "EEVblog". Here is a example; The guys name is Dave Jones. He numbers his tests EEVblogxxxx.You don't have to look very far :-+; \https://www.eevblog.com/forum/blog/ --- End quote --- If you think he's from England, you seriously need your ears testing! :-DD --- End quote --- To be fair, I've noticed, the Australian accent does sound similar to some parts of Eastern England. I remember speaking to some people from somewhere in East Anglia, it could've been Cambridgeshire or Suffolk and couldn't help but notice they have an Aussie twang. I thought it was because they'd watched too many trashy Australian soaps, but no it's real. I believe the old working class London accent a couple of hundred years or so ago, sounded similar to Australian, but it's completely changed since then, whilst the Aussies haven't. |

Part of the Commonwealth*. The UK is the United Kingdom of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. * Commonwealth of Nations to give it it's full title. |

--- Quote from: videobruce on August 29, 2024, 06:11:19 pm ---I call myself Bruce since that is the name on my birth certificate. I don't see an straight answer yet. --- End quote --- The stereotype (I guess "meme" in the modern parlance) is Australian males are called Bruce, and females Sheila. It's probably only commonly used in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. --- Quote from: Zero999 on August 29, 2024, 06:27:50 pm ---To be fair, I've noticed, the Australian accent does sound similar to some parts of Eastern England.

There is still the occasional UK accent influence in various US and Canadian regional accents too. |
