Interesting - thought I was the only Canadian lurking around here.

I don't find my accent is an issue in the south east. I have had to speak slowly on a few occasions to ensure I was understood though.

Dude, you're Canadian - speaking slowly comes natural ...

Some of my Canadian slang catches people out as well...they look at each other as if I've insulted them. ha ha

Nope.

Yes, not a very likely contingency.

Oh ha blimming ha, however not applicable, since no matter how you arrange the letters, there is no <letters removed> in my name.

Hmm, I like the idea of an S&M voice...

As for a group of ladies, the same as the men. It's not an accent specifically aimed at gender, but more social situation. At least that's what we were taught in elocution.
