American English Vs. British English

I'm Australian myself and in my opinion TV Lover, I think that the Aust english and UK english are far far different in terms of accent.

as for personal preference - I am all for the original UK english. A man could woo me with a UK accent alone.

TV lover, welcome, and I noticed that you didn't include cockney. Really doesn't matter to me as long as I can understand what a person is saying.

Canadian english is a mix between the two, almost American though.

Colourful... eh?

Edit: It's been brought to my attention that South African English sounds really different?

Actually, American is almost Canadian, eh

Ive noticed that simple sentences , said in Manchester English are really funny.

Like at a dinner with some colleagues , (most of whom were UK or Scottish---PS NOBODY UNDERSTOOD THE SCOTS < THEY WOULD TALK AND WED ALL SORT OF JUST STOP FOR A FEW SECONDS, NOD, AND THEN GO ON LIKE THEY NEVER SAID ANYTHING, )
Anyway, back to dinner, We got talking about cooking hedgehogs and one fellow, full of Whatneys Red Barrel said

"<<URP>> Do you not eviscerate the hedgehog before cooking him?"
Now if an American would say that , itd sound sorta pretentious, when the Englishman said it, it was funny and we all waited for an answer.
English can give you directions to a town over a cell phone and it would be quite funny.

whenever I read a post by Lord Ellpus, I always play it in my mind in his proper patrician dialect. Im in stitches, the combination of the accent, the references , and his mastery of the bleedin obvious is enjoyable.

My sentiments exactly.

East Virginia and deep South accents are quite different, too, as are Yankees vs. Georgia.

Here in Florida, there are so many different cultures, that one never pays attention to any accents. To me, they are all delightful, even when I can't understand what they're saying.
