Agreed. I grew up watching "Yes Prime Minister" and anything Monty Python in Norway. Has served me well in Australia. Further to this, I've also worked on my diction using a number of available resources such as https://www.audible.com.au/search?keywords=get+rid+of+your+accent&ref= https://www.audible.com.au/search?keywords=get+rid+of+your+a... . I could never fully appropriate the Australian accent, but something more akin to British becomes non-determinate and easier on the ear (ref: how people prefer speech synthesis in a different English region to their own). It kind of surprises me that more non-native English speakers don't do the same; I have worked with people who I've really struggled to understand. But I can't really tell them "can you please work on your accent", as much as I wish I could and I knew it would serve them well.
