Does an accent really disappear that quickly?

[chjlly]

Ellen in casualty is sounding very english all of a sudden!!

Who is Ellen?

the blonde one who is supposed to be pregnant with Harry's baby!

she is supposed to be from the ukraine

bit like thingy on eastenders... the american girl.. sharons sister

i dunno... i think some people might. I have this weird tendency to start copying people's accents not consciously, but i did begin to pick up an american accent when i was there for 2 weeks! lol

a friend of my nana's has been in australia since the 60's and still has an english accent though!
