"There isn't a British accent. Four countries make up Britain as a basic area. Scottish is different from Welsh. Even in England, the accents are varied with some that are very hard to understand. So an American would probably be referring to English in a clear pronunciation which only really occurs the most in American films. Three countries make up Great Britain England Scotland Wales " Errr…4 ,Northern Ireland | |||

"My English accent is fairly BBCish so I seem to be understood most places. Except one time in a Subway fast food place outside New Orleans where the girl, speaking English with a heavy Creole accent, just could not understand me. In the end she yelled out the back "Wayne! Foreigner!". Luckly Wayne undestood me. ![]() Were you asking for a jacket potato and cutlery ? | |||

My ex is/was American and she could not get her head around how localised everything is here. I grew up in an area of the north west of England where 2 miles in any direction you would have vastly differing accents as there was a lot of outspill from Liverpool. The other thing she could never understand was the intense rivalry that existed between people from different places, thinking LIverpool and Manchester significantly, but also the absolute sectarian divide in places like Glasgow that had everything to do with you being either Catholic or Protestant which dictated the football team you supported and which side of the city you lived and nothing to do with race or skin colour. The extent to which we are (at times viscerally) tribal in the UK is an utterly alien concept to most Americans (unless you are talking politics). | |||

The French based Creoles near New Orleans speak a very distorted English if they have limited contact with other parts of the English speaking world. I was after a 12" sub roll from their menu. It appeared me pointing at it did not help either. ![]() | |||
