[kool maudit]

My father is English, and when I was very young my parents' social circle was near-entirely English with a few Aussies and South Africans.

I distinctly remember going to kindergarten and having my teacher remark on my "British accent". I had never been to the country before.

After that year, making friends and so on, it faded and became entirely Canadian. I don't remember speaking differently and there was no conscious change, but I remember adults noticing that about me.
