my threads flopping ;(

I am.

Definitely. Unless you're from 3% of Britain's population, chances are you talk almost as bad as 95% of Americans do.

Yes, very

Really?

Certain British accents

Others tho, more bogan than ours

Depends.

Americans? I'm portuguese and british accent is my obsession too, eventhough it's hard to speak. When Britney goes with that I fall in love even harder.

I'm loving Nicki's accent on Idol!

I am. Most Americans love ANYTHING that they think is English+Posh. We like to believe everyone across the bond sip tea and eat crumpets in cabins/manors/castles all day

That's the thing. English, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish accents are all completely different but still "British accents"...and then within each country the accent can noticeably change from town to town, let alone city to city.

"Posh" isn't really an accent, it's just how a relatively tiny amount of people are taught to speak. A neutral, well spoken, typically Southern English accent is what most will hear when they think of a "British accent" (assuming they aren't imagining Queen's English). Either that or a cockney Landana (Londoner).

Americans are obsessed with pretty much anything foreign in general. You drop a person here from any random place, anywhere, and we're fawning over it like it's the most amazing thing ever.

This too.

I like 'BLOODY HELL'

Because that's for some reason how the British are portrayed. As more upper class and wealthy.

Also if there was a nice English accent on a tv ad, people will buy it just cause. Americans just like accents in general as long as its not too heavy.
