Even though I was born in New Zealand people say I have a Danish accent. My family is from Hillerod Denmark. I do not believe I have an accent.

There's a "H" in Huddersfield.
Any Rord, as a truckie I get to hear lots of regional dialects and I love them. It's what makes the job all the more interesting.
I do however, often ask people to repeat what they've just said as I haven't grasped the meaning.
ie: Just doon twizzle (Just down the alleyway)
On one occasion I embarassingly had to ask them to spell what they were saying before I grasped it (twas a drunk Irishman !!)

Just to add the US is the only country where I have seen them add subtitles to programs/shows involving people from other english speaking countries so you guys should really not be judging others wrt accents. Your language came from across the pond for starters...
I'm quite easy with understanding people from ireland, scotland, england, wales, NZ, Oz, zimbabwe, kenya etc don't really understand the need for subtitles.
