Re: British accents
Snot fair!! Hardly anyone ever comments on my accent and I live in the mid-west. Bar stools!!!! So far I have had one fairly hot chick (by which I mean under 40 without a bleach blond hairdoo and not quite enough make-up to sink a battleship) say 'I love your accent, I could listen to it all.....night (wuff!!!), one old gal and one supersize girl at Cracker Barrell who said I sound just like Austin Powers. Austin bleedin Powers???!!?? I am from Manchester for god sake.

Re: British accents
I actually have more trouble with some of the Scottish accents (not my honey's thankfully).
I also remember my elderly neighbor - "Oh, you should hear the Scottish guy next door. Can't understand a word he says, but we LOVE to listen to him" - following by delighted cooing of the young women she was speaking to.
He also can speak French, so was always pested to speak French to the girls. So he smiled sweetly and gently taught them the most horrendous insults, which of course sounded lovely. I hope noone takes those phrases back to their high school French teachers. I think one involved anatomically impossible acts with chickens...
