I do mean a foreign accent... I always do this... i was doing it subconsciously and then realised i was doing it when i was forced to think about rapport.

I have never had anyone have a bad reaction towards it...

I do tend to "rib" or "tease" people a lot - It is always done in a very lighthearted way... I guess this is the frame.... lighthearted and fun.
