I did say many (not all) people...
All my Kiwi friends tell me how English I sound when I call home most of my current colleagues too. But then everybody at home sounds like they've just come off the set of Neighbours or Kath & Kim to me... it's all in the perceiver's mind, I guess.
Still, you may have given edesignuk some renewed hope.
I don't know... I think people readily revert to their native accents when they're stressed, tired or tipsy all of which I've been a lot of recently.
