Hey Peterc, you probably have the same accent as mine!
So are you still in Zim now? Some words come easier to me than others...barbie I can do lol....but there are others that took a while (yeah; round-about instead of traffic circle; jumper instead of jersey). The most confusing one of all was and actually still is LOLLIES for any kind of sweets. So that would make what I call an ice lolly an ice block even though it's not exactly the shape of a block....okay I'm splitting hairs here....but my daughter kept coming home from school saying she had an ice block so I thought it must be that they give the kids actually ice blocks from the freezer...you know the ones we put in our drinks? I thought it was a bit strange but thoughtful of them at the same time seeing as it gets so hot on the Gold Coast. Oh and I just can't remember to say thongs instead of flip flops.
