So was it an English, Irish, Welsh or Scottish accent? There's no such thing as a 'British' accent. I'm assuming you mean it as in Queen's English, which I've only ever heard from the Royal family or American Tv shows

I do different american accents and i always hear an american accent and go: oh, that sounds texan, or that sounds like they're from new jersey etc. I dont know if thats just me, but i know there are different accents in different states. Just saying.

yeah. defiantly. I'm from California, so I think I speak typical American english, but I find it funny when people with heavy accents think they talk normally.

110 and 118 I'm english and NO-ONE in the whole of Britain says "cheerio" or "pip pip" anymore. We haven't for about 90 years. It's a load of codswallop. (In case you didn't know, codswallop is British for bullshit)

I'm English, and I think if some foriegners want to remain ignorant to the fact that the Uk is comprised of 4 different countries, each with many different regional accents within them, then leave them to it. (I'm from Cornwall btw, which means I sound a bit like a pirate as far as the yanks are concerned, and to many brits it means I sound like an uneducated country-bumpkin or a red-neck!) The brits here don't need to defend themselves by saying certain stereotypes aren't true, because guess what, sometimes they are! Just like, i'm sure, some American stereotypes are true aswell. You cannot speak for the whole damn country, you can only speak for yourselves and your own experiences. Get over yourselves. Cheerio! :)

I don't think I we call them countries in the us. the uk is a country, not each individual territory.

Well now you know better! The UK is comprised of 4 different COUNTRIES, which as a whole make up the UNITED KINGDOM. Try telling a Scottish person that Scotland is not it's own country and you'll have problems my love! lol
