Subject: RE: Hearing & identifying an accent - TV & Film
I'm reminded of the bit from Flight of the Concords where the two New Zealanders are at a lock-up in New York trying to find their drunken countryman: the desk-sergeant says, "Is he the one who keeps saying, 'Yeh, yeh'?" The one New Zealander says, "That's him!" - the other says, "Wait - that sounds more South African."

Okay, it doesn't work as well in print, but anyway ..........
