You have NO IDEA what it is like to be called upon cause of your accent.
Every conversation starts like this "You're Australian? OI MATE CHUCK A SHRIMP ON THE BARBY, CRIKEY A STING RAY"
But the real kicker is that people usually enjoy foreign accents. People enjoy the Australian accent and in my opinion a british accent on a girl is great :D (Presuming your british).
Give it a chance, and let the critical ones who judge people on accents drown in their own stupidity...
