This. People in Britain can have a variety of different accents. I'm assuming that TC is thinking of a London accent, which I agree is pretty cool. But some of the other British dialects barely even sound like English.

Even then London accents hugely vary, from Hermione Granger to Stan Shunpike.

Yeah, because the entire island of Great Britain has only one accent. Despite being made up of three countries.

Fuck's sake.

The term British accent has been widely used for a long time. There is a general accent, and then there are more specific accents. Same with most countries. For fucks sake, people. You know what TC meant.


We knew what he meant but it's also worth correcting and educating, because it's just wrong. If you went to the UK about 90% of the accents you hear would be not at all like the wonderfully musical received pronunciation you hear from hollywood villains.

There is no "general" accent, I promise you that. We're talking about a country where peoples who live just 50 miles away from each other had hundreds of years to grow apart.

I particularly enjoy the New Zealand accent.

A regular customer of mine is this gorgeous red haired woman from there, and her accent is so pretty I just melt every time I talk to her.

Oh look, here comes the Americans to tell us what our accents are. About how they know our country better than we do.

I wonder when the English people will arrive to suck the Americans dicks and tell them how right and correct they are, completely ignoring the rest of the bastarding country.

Yes there is. I know some of the accents you are talking about.

For example The Benny Hill show had actors that spoke an accent that is harder for Americans to understand than say the accent the actors have on the IT Crowd. But it is still called a British accent.


They're all called British accents but only in the sense that they all hail from Britain. You give me a "British" accent and I can tell you where it's from down to a matter of about 60 regional kms.

They don't let northerners on TV unless they're a comedian.
The general accent is just that awful insincere one radio 1 djs have.
That Estuary shit, yeah?
