The man in me was excited, but the food service worker in me was screaming, "Shut the fuck up and look around your gigantic boobs, you cunt! The fucking fries are right in fucking front of you! JESUS CHRIST! I'm telling you, one more idiot like this bitch and I'm walking out of here! Do you here me Brian? I mean it this time! I can't handle these fucking nitwits anymore! This cumbag probably won't even tip, because she's too stupid to understand the concept! FUCK!"

It may still be playing in Australia - as Nando's plays off its SA brand (though I don't have a TV so haven't seen it and Oporto is better anyway.)

^Because it sounds similar to Australian to me, that's why. There's not a night-and-day difference between the two.

The narrator to me sounds Australian, but the waitress definitely sounded African.

Alright fair enough. As a South African I am a bit touchy about people mistaking my accent for an Australian accent. However it does happen fairly frequently so I guess I'll let you off with a warning this time! Although I gotta say there is a hefty chunk of difference if u listen a bit.

You know... BisH0p69 had the right idea. They *ARE* similar. We're not talking about confusing Scottish with Romanian here. Try getting over yourself and your internet-chic Yank-hating and simply admit that they're somewhat similar.

Sure... if you're around them all the time, it's easy. But I don't get on you about not telling the difference between a Cajun and an Appalachian hick.

Obviously there's no reason you'd be around an Appalachian hick (thank your lucky stars) but my point has been demonstrated.

That being said, thinker's comment cracked me up.

Because only Australians, New Zealanders and apparently South Africans can tell their accents apart?

Wooo, OK at the risk of this discussion becoming a tad pedantic, I need to clarify this misunderstanding. I think the reason that the common "white" South African accent (because there is a difference in accents between groups in SA, albeit now slowly disappearing after Apartheid) gets mistaken for Australian is because it is not widely recognised. People hear it, think, "Blimey, what's that...its not any of the British ones, not Irish, not American or Canadian....IT MUST BE AUSTRALIAN!" If you actually listen to the accents there is DEFINITELY a big distinction. American & Canadian is a lot more related to each other, same goes for Aussie and Kiwi.
The South African accent (and by extension, Zimbabwean accent) is fairly unique. It's also known by actors as the hardest accent do to correctly. Leonardo diCaprio did a fairly decent job with his in "Blood Diamond".

The server speaks with a fairly standard black South African accent (again, just explaining that there are accent differences between South Africa's groups...I'm not a racist! )

I figure the main reason people think it's Australian is because it isn't british yet she calls her fries "chips" when no battered, deep fried fish is present.

Hahaha. You crack me up. And while I was only joking about the "yank" thing, I must say that "Try getting over yourself and your internet-chic Yank-hating and simply admit that they're somewhat similar" is definitely a typical Yank-defence and I will not admit they are somewhat similar because they aren't... anymore than Irish-english is "somewhat" similar to Spanish-english
