Ah bless, throw in a joke with an aussie accent and the word sheila and a certain type of English person can't control their mirth

However Australian's don't seem to like it when something could be interpreted as being in any way derogatory to them, and subsequently overreact. It aggravates the shoulder chip.
what would have been tremendous is if he said "I cant quite do the accent but -" and then proceeded to do a thick Welsh coal mining village accent instead

I'll be amazed if it caused anything more than a benevolent rolling of eyes. The journalists are really scraping the bottom of the barrel on this one.

That link was to the BBC site, I don't think any Aussies are whingeing. This thread is a beatup.

Given we are marching hand-in-hand across various dusty bits of the planet to kill people I think there are more important things to give a toss about.

Re: Has Cameron caused a diplomatic row with Australia?
I concur. Based on the reactions of the aussie journalist, there should have been riots in the streets over Keanu Reeves English accent in Dracula. now that was a bad accent. And there were riots...but I think that was about something else.
