Dale, great to see that you still come by, albeit . Thanks for the corrections. After spending almost 3 decades as an editor of parliamentary debates before I retired, I suppose I still edit subconsciously. I realise I should have used the American spelling for 'favorite', but I just can't bring myself to do it.

As for the accents, a goodly proportion of our country music singers sound to us like they are trying to be American but, as you say, to Americans they probably still sound very Australian. I heard a Casey Chambers track on the radio the other day and she sounded for all the world like Dolly Parton.

Cheers, Stewie.
