Lies that got out of controlEver claimed you could speak a foreign language to impress friends, colleagues and/or get laid? Make a twat of yourself - and I couldn't possibly comment - saying you were the godson of the chairman of BP? Tell us how your porkies have caught up with you
(Thanks to augsav and Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic for the suggestions)

To be fairI'm British and find it quite difficult to tell the accents apart. A year or so ago, when the new Star Trek came out, I saw an interview with Simon Pegg explaining why he picked the Glaswegian accent over the cobbled together one from the original series. Can't hear the different myself. In fact, I often find it difficult to even recognise someone is talking with a Scots accent.
And that's got nothing to do with being a Southern English Poofter as its the same with pretty much anything. About the only accent I CAN recognise is Welsh. I don't think it helps that my family are their own little melting pot, so my own accent and dialect is pretty mucked up to begin with.

Clearlyit's just an ear thing, I just happen to have quite a good ear. The more people I meet from different places the more I can tell their accents apart and name them, hence the American accent thing - I just happen to have met quite a few Americans. Introduce me to more Australians and I'm sure I'll get there!
Nothing against people who can't hear the differences, I just thought it might be a giggle on occasion :)
