I keep hearing this British people have bad teeth thing, where does it come from?
Don't get me wrong I love a good politically incorrect stereotype, but bad teeth? Is that all people have on us?
I smell a lack of imagination!0 -
I think you'll find the language you're bastardising is known as English, and there's nothing quaint about the use of legitimate words.0

whats the british accent??? Is it more like my dads broad glaswegian, or maybe its my southern english?
or maybe you mean that really harsh scouse, or geordie? or the west country, or welsh?0 -

You're talking about an English way of speaking :P
There's no such thing as a "British accent", as Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are all also part of Britain and they are totally different countries with different accents and languages :P
Though agree, my best friend is English and he speaks like he's from the 1800's and I love it
But I'm Scottish, soooo I speak with a Scottish accent, which doesn't sound like the American idea of a "British" accent, yet Scotland is still part of Britain!0 -
But their teeth.
Um hai, we have an NHS which means our kids/poor people get free dental care, therefore actually manage to have better teeth than in countries where you have to be rich to afford medical stuff....like that country...ummm...America?0 -

I once heard that the old colonies variations of English is in part due to the amount of messing around the Victorians did when they had already left. So the old colonies variations are closer to the real deal than we are.
Makes sense to me, the Victorians did love to make things all tidy.0 -
I hate having a British accent. I want something exciting!0

hahah, I am English (I live in London bruv, and we speak proper English, innit?) but actually lived most of my life in Sydney and I can't tell you how much I wanted to get rid of my Aussie accent and get back to the English Twang...
When I speak to Australian's now, they don't even realise I am from Sydney, when I talk to English people I don't know, they ask me where abouts in Australia I come from.
I have no idea how I sound....I go home to Sydney for the first time in 4 years in 3 weeks time, so I'm assuming they are all going to say I don't sound Aussie anymore! (Hoorah! haha)0 -

I love Aussie accents! It's just so relaxed and it sounds happy. If that makes sense! I think I sound common but have been told I'm quite posh haha load of b*****ks0 -

Absolutley no offence taken, it's boring as sh*te, but it's filmed in Sydney so it's a little bit of home when I'm feeling homesick...I have considered watching with the mute button on though, so I don't have to hear the god awful squawking accent haha!
Ohh you're a CBomb Girl...you naughty thing! LOL, I'm not a CBomber but I do use the F word a bit too much - I am trying to reign that in though haha!0 -

haha no don't try and stop! it's my favourite accent to listen too!0 -
I've noticed a lot of Americans think a "British" accent means talking like the queen. English characters in American films are usually Eton-educated Hugh Grant foppy-types with country estates and a butler. Watch EastEnders. That's how I sound! I rarely come across people who speak the Queen's English.
O'right laaaav! x0 -
I avoid the scale. I do believe that thing is a muthaeffing liar.0

Believe me mate there is nothing quaint or charming about me at all!0

There are...Neighbours is just as bad these days, I don't really watch either anymore to be honest! Would rather watch Eastenders LOL
Hahahaha, Yes, it can! But I know I use it waaay too much. My Mama is going to go mad if she hears me saying it when I go home after 4 years - she will wonder what this country has done to me!0 -
Now the Irish- wow- had one Irish friend and Iiterally had no clue what he was talking about. The closest I can come to comparing it to someone in the states was the time I was in Louisiana and tried to understand a Cajun. I had no clue.
Hey! I'm half- Irish, born & raised in cajun country, married to a said cajun, & lemme tell ya sha, I dunno whats you talkin bout, no!0
