Re: American accent
I love doing it. It just cracks me up. Although works high ways, my hubby has become very English. He says mate after every other word!

Re: American accent
I'm from North East of England (near Newcastle upon Tyne) so have a Geordie accent. I've had people ask if I'm Scottish, Irish, Australian and Canadian! It does make me laugh though. When I go to the stores, the Mall etc and anyone hears my accent they always stop and talk to me, I spent nearly an hour talking to one lady in the Mall, it's great and quite a good way to meet people too.

Re: American accent
What makes me laugh is my wife's attempts to imitate me. Since I've not heard a non-native Black Country English actor pull off the accent, (and no, Timothy Spall in Auf Wiedersehen Pet was terrible) I don't suppose I should be surprised by her efforts.
