Quoting Dale Shipp to Jim Weller <=-

When we were in process of moving to England, and I trying to get
attuned to the differences, I once asked a co-worker "are you English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish?" The answer came back in a snarl, I am
from Yorkshire

My co-worker mistook a New Zealander for an Australian and was told,
"All you bloody Yanks make the same mistake."




Cheers

Jim

As I've said before, we had a bartender in New Zealand, we were waiting for a table, say that he couldn't tell Americans from Canadians. I told him I was the same way with Australians and New Zealanders. I was mostly joking...and I "think" he was too.

We had a snack, while drinking Steinlager, commercially raised Red deer, while waiting. Almost didn't order dinner, I was full. The "snack" wasn't.

LOL! Other than choice of words and spelling with some words, a lot of Canada has no distinctive accent to us. Newfoundland and Quebec, yes but other parts, it seems only on a few words and not enough to be distinctive.

Thats kinda why I think Canadians tend to wear 'Canadian' markers and T-shirts/jackets overseas.

So there I was, a couple of years ago, on a bus tour of Tuscany. This Canadian
couple on the tour asked me why my T-Shirt had a tiny Canadian flag sewn on it. I pointed out it says "Toad River Lodge Mile 422 Alaska Highway BC". :-)
It's a place my wife and I always stopped at, from 2005 until 2010, as we drug
the 5th wheel up and down yearly. Gas, pull through RV spots, propane, food, and rooms for the mobile homeless. Loo got to visit a year or so ago when he rode up with me in a car, we stayed in a room by the little lake. The 5th wheel has been retired and put out to pasture, it's now a "cabin" down by Kasilof on another lake.

I would like to point out that at the end of my career with the Feds I worked for the Alaska NORAD Region and met a lot of very nice Canadians, since it's a joint venture.

I'm from a part of Ontario that has an accent. If we both make it to the
picnic I promise without knowing what I look like you will be able to pick
me out now that I've said this.

buy some aigs to bile. Daisnt laugh at the way I talk; that'd be
turrible."

So I have the nasal twang without the slang. People always find it
strange. But I sound like /everyone/ else in this area. <Laugh>
