Really good. My colleagues will get a good laugh out of this since one of their prime hobbies is Kiwi bashing.

However when I lived in London I couldn't actually tell the difference between an Aussie and a Kiwi. I can now - but my ear has been trained.

I went there the other week for a few days. I couldn't bring myself to ask for fush and Chups.

Pretty accurate list on the whole, except for:

which is actually the Oz way of saying it. Kiwis would say sux.

Anyway, to the Brits taking the piss out of kiwi accents - what is this about places like lester (Leicester) and gloster (Gloucester)? Funny old language isn't it, made much the more interesting for a few differences in accent from place to place (eg between Chelsea and East End).

We can't normally tull the dufferunce. I got the list off an Aussie.

ha ha Bondipom - your list is hilarious! I sent it to a friend of mine who lives in NZ who has now got all shirty and thinks that kiwis sound posher than aussies and told me we will have to learn to say 'feeesh and cheeeps' when we get to oz! I replied that 'fush and chups' definitely does not sound posher than the above!!!

Great post though!

Very funny.

You can't win wherever you go down under. When I moved to Oz from NZ I asked in a stationers for some 'drawing pins' to put up posters. They kept bringing me felt tips - 'drawing pens'. Finally got the message across - they said 'you mean drawing peeens'...

Hubby still laughs about the Kiwis in front of us in the queue for a Neil Finn concert in London saying 'who's got the tuckets?'.

One consolation - I studied linguistics and there's a soundshift going on with vowels in the English speaking world (like in Middle English times) that means in several hundred years we'll quite probably all sound like Kiwis do now. For once NZ is at the cutting edge of something...
