I use to have one, but now American English has taken over! Every now and then my accent comes back, especially when I am mad, excited, etc.

If any of you do a Dick Van *** style accent I'm going to book a flight, at my expense, to shove a mary Poppins DVD up your 'Arse'.

british accents are only good for hot british women like ms. beckinsale... otherwise, they are bloody annoying. Reference Simon Cowell and you'll know what I mean.

I can do a fake british accent thats passable. I'm sure actual brits would see right through it easily.

Simon Cowell is a prick.

On the upside, I've had compliments from every american woman I know saying they think british accents are hot.
