Do you have that saved as a macro that you trot out anytime it may be remotely relevant?

It doesn't happen that often though - well, at least the latter.

The only issue you'll have is if someone wants to wind you up, but they'd just pick the next easiest thing if you weren't British.

True actually, but that almost would certainly happen if someone with a strong accent moved to another part of the UK.

Depends on how you can handle things like that, The ones that dont seem to be the first ones to leave. Get through the first 2 weeks and you'll be fine.

On the unit where I work we have staff from UK, Zimbabwe, Germany, NZ & India. The Aussies are a minority.

They are treated weil, just like anyone else - apart from the Brits who have chips on their shoulders. They get treated differently.

You were a fool for putting up with it.
