Some accents from Britain are lovely, sounds respectful and proper where as others really annoy me. Is it just me or are the Brits the loudest drunks in the world? I don't like that, but otherwise its cool.

Some of the expression make me laugh, feel like I'm talking to my grandma. But I guess it goes the other way  too. Like when I was in London a kid told me I talked like Will Smith. Guess I'm just cool and funk.

Scouse? Really? But yes, even though I am Welsh, the accent is really annoying, I'm lucky I live near the border so i don't have the accent.

I have the best fake bri'ish accent ever. I have fully faked out brits, and even had an english Boston cabbie fully convinced I had a flat in Devonshire.

It's interesting at bars too. Girls love it... Just remembering you're supposed to be british in the morning is fuckin' wicked hard.

Which is a real problem. I was talking to a guy who works in the city doing international banking or something important like that, Saudi and Qatar own a lot of London, a scary amount, that they can do with what they please.

Tanqueray is such an under-rated Gin. There's a bar near me that makes a gorgeous Tanqueray Collins.


But for Champagne cocktails, it has to be Plymouth Gin. So smooth.

Well tally ho chaps, looks like we're coming up trumps here!

Growing up I had the Surrey public school education and have tried very hard subsequently to lose the plummy accent. Though I did exaggerate it whenever I was in the company of American and Canadian ladies and it worked pretty well in most cases! Though my womanising days are over now, I'm with a great English girl.

I think being well spoken does help in many situations, people generally assume you are more professional and trustworthy.

firstly congratulations on knowing what pants are.

secondly of course your cousins are going to know what you're on about when you compliment their pants. England is very Americanised and so knows this distinction.

And so unless you stand around with your cousins in your underwear they are going to quickly realize you're talking about their trousers since they aren't showing you their pants.

In England if you ask someone to go buy you some pants they will come back with underwear, FACT.

No, Scotish accents do not have the same appeal/understandability as English. :)
