I used to make decisions ...

But then an article on the internet convinced me of the benefit of cloud decision making ;-)[Poll #1473195]I have convinced myself that two and a bit weeks is more than enough time for a quick Sydney/London/Paris holiday given that I want to see only about 15 people, 10 museums and 13 shops. This involves me talking myself out of running away to Oxford. Totally doable. I need to lose weight anyway, and so steamed veg can be consumed for a few months in order to pay for such frivolity! It will be FINE![Poll #1473195]

Trust me, the dialogue is so inane that over-the-top British will not cut it. You will not be more than a couple of chapters in before you need the distraction of a challenging accent.
How about bad Russian spy accent with terminal hiccups?
