    As a New Zealander their accent sounds like someone originally from England that has lived in NZ for a long time. To Nzers they probably sound very English but When they travel home their friends and family would say "you've picked up a NZ accent haven't you?"

I am a little sad fot that , however I hope that I am able to go there and enjoy Falklanders and these place loved by all Argentines.

      There's a wide variation of accents around the islands but predominantly British plus commonwealth influences. I've heard a few sound like they're straight out of (Northern) Western Australian, some sound NZ, they probably are actually from there. Many UK personnel are stationed there and many stay there so it would be interesting to see how many were actually born in FI

      To me it’s more west country mixed with South African, it’s interesting the accents that have developed in English across the Anglosphere and indeed the world.
      The most diverse accents in English can still be found at home here in the UK though, hundreds of accents in these small home islands, and I challenge any American to have a casual chat with a Glaswegian lol, I did recently and (being from the east of England) had to listen a little more intently than I normally would when he spoke at speed, and I ahead to ask him to repeat on occasion, we then had a “what if” moment that an American was present, and exasperated that I can chat unfettered with this guy but our American friend hasn’t got a clue what our Scottish friend is saying, it’s just jumbled gibberish to him lol.

I have fond memories of the islanders and the island. The islanders were kind in their dealings, and what is his spirit shoulder more work, neatness and nationalists. But they also have a downside, look with some contempt for those who are or come from Peru, there is always that look of being superior, of course disingenuously, are not all but some.

    I'm talking about London money. The kind of money that A list movie stars dream of. You can only find this huge wealth resource in London and New York. I'm not interested in working a 9-5 job as I've tried that it it'll get me nowhere. Once I have enough capital I will eventually move to somewhere more tranquil, less stressful such as the Falklands.

    The Chief of the Americas Department of the Foreign Office, John Troutbeck, wrote in October 1936: "The difficulty of the position is that our seizure of the Falkland Islands in 1833 was so arbitrary a procedure as judged by the ideology of the present day. It is therefore not easy to explain our possession without showing ourselves up as international bandits" (F.O. 371/19763, F° 349).

    You are confusing Great Britain with British and Britain. Although confusing (and perhaps geographically incorrect) "Britain" on its own is an offcially sanctioned hsothand term for the United Kingdom of GB and Northern Ireland. As far as nationality is concerned, that is entirely different anyway. You can be Northern Irish resident or domicile but there is no such thing as a Northern Irish citizen. They may be an Irish or a British Citizen or both and there is no such thing as a NI passport..

      Mariano de anquin sorry but this statement of your is not understandable, what I'm guessing you mean is that the islanders can remain British but under age tine rule... That's the problem since it's an British overseas territory under its own administration it can and with looks to the referendum 99.8% against argentine rule, will not be argentine until they vote otherwise which I think won't happen any time soon
