Aussies Used Talk Different

[icyfroth]

Watching the Australian Story on Andrew "Boy" Charlton last night it struck me how the newsreaders of the day had a much "plummier"

accent.

Almost  but quite quite the "pommy" rrrrrowwnded vowels. Distinctly Orstrelian.

We've relaxed a lot since then and grown into our own accent.

But it's nice to listen to the way the old narrators and newsreaders used to speak in their formal way. God forbid they should use the accent of the broader aussie population

Here's an example:

Flake is shark in NSW, and scallops are battered slices of potato, at least where I live.
