Well, I know of one... but we have a Richmond in every state which I find funny  I was born in Richmond NSW, but people ask me where I was born, I say Richmond, then they say "Oh, local boy, eh?" And I got, "No... Richmond NSW." Then they shun me |

Funny enough, all Australian born citizens have the nearly the same accent, unlike in Brittish we're in some Shire's like Manchester and Liverpool, the accents differ. Another example is in America, where you have the Northwestern, Southern accents, then the general American accent.

Actually the accent in Britiain changes every... roughly 20 miles. The change is the strongest in the midlands. Every town around me pretty much has a completely different accent.
The Birmingham accent just got voted the funniest in Britain. xD

Haha - I always pick up my sister's laugh when she comes back from Stoke. xD Sounds nothing like my normal laugh.
And when I've been watching Black Books I'll ALWAYS start talking with an Irish twang, saying 'tings' instead of 'things' and 'filams' instead of 'films'. =P But if I try to do a full blown Irish accent without having listened to it, I sound like a pirate. xD
