"Omg that is so cute, you have a British accent!"

Yes, I am stereotyping.

But can I make it clear: There is no such thing as a British accent.

Is there??

Each country in the British Isles tends to have it's own accent [except Southern parts of Wales where Welsh is dieing out.].

I'm sure there is someone out there whose accent is a combination of Irish, Scottish, English and Welsh. But for the record, I have an English accent.

*end rant*

I had a friend go to college here from Nottingham, England. He got VERY pissed off when one of my coworkers said he had a British accent, and began telling us the UK isn't one big country. He was very pissed off.

It's true O___O There's nothing spectacular about the British language, or any language in Britain.

yeah, 'british accent' is total bullshit, i can't understand some people from newcastle, liverpool and some from scotland. and most of my friends cant understand cornish accents (i only understand them because most of my family live in the westcountry). one specific 'british accent' does not exist.
I have a hybrid of cockney, surrey and occasionally a bit of westcountry.
