    It was rather common when Peppa Pig was big where American children would get slightly British accents because they would pick it up from the show.

      I did something similar to myself when i was preteen because i got bullied for my incredibly particular regional merkin accent. At the time I got really into westerns. I still talk like a stereotypical movie cowboy.

        And ironically, this is happening as the Australian accent vanishes thanks to American cultural influences.

        Take that Americans. Now your kids say “bins”
