I met a guy in his 30's who is a banker visiting from Sydney Australia last Saturday. Nice guy. But man, you folks speak English but I had one hell of a time understanding him! I know I don't hear worth a sh++, but his accent was really hard to keep up with in the 30 minute conversation I had with him. He was in the Los Angeles area on business and I just happened onto him out in the desert near me riding with his buddy in an off road vehicle.
 

Down here in Oz we don't "happen onto" anyone - there's your problem right there
 
LOL....... I lived in the States for a few years in the mid 80's and the biggest problem was they reckon we talk to fast and with the accent they couldn't understand us
 
You think a New York or Texan accent is easy for us to understand .. two way street mate .
 
I was able to understand Speedy Gonzales on the cartoons .. reckon i'll manage Lupe.
