Hi,One of my long time pet peeves living in NZ is the ability for Kiwis to get a pseudo UK accent by virtue of spending a week drinking in London while on their OE (overseas excursion).
It turns out that a newly documented case of a stroke causing an accent change has happened in Canada.
So maybe these Kiwi travelers are suffering some kind of medical stroke, or extreme brain trauma, when spending time in the UK.
My money is on these poor individuals being hit in the head by a 2 x 4 by a cockney enraged by their fake accent...
10 cool points to anyone who can describe who the role of the people in the photo above, and where the tradition of wearing pearl buttons comes form.

I had a girlfriend who developed a Souther accent when she was angry.
She was from the Pennsylvania Appalachians though.
I don't know about the UK, but I hear that people visiting the USA are forced to speak with an American accent, because otherwise none of the locals can understand them.
