I am visiting England at the moment, and they are definately not all Hugh Grant-gentleman types. There are some cute ones, but where we are now, there seem to be a terrible lot of men who will walk around in shiny tracksuits with their hands down the front of their trousers, wearing very chunky gold jewellery, all with the same buzz-cut hairdo, and an angry look on their face, somewhat like a bulldog. Quite disappointing really. Not at all what I expected.

Don't remember it being mentioned anywhere ...\n\nBut his accent seems to be loosely modelled on Cary Grant's (no, seriously - listen to it) ...\n\n... so I'd have to guess Southern England.

English and Australian are the best accents. They sound so smart, sophisticated, and similar.

I like the Southern accents.  But it bugs the mess out of me to hear an actor portray a southern accent in film.  But I guess to others we sound that way.  I really don't like any Northern accents--to nasal.

Hey there fellow Brit, I am Scottish and am therefore supposed to hate the English more than any other nationality. But it's ok I don't! \nI am fairly new to yahoo answers but have also noticed that most users are american but that is probably because there are many more americans than british. \nI really noticed this when i wanted to see who had been asking questions about big brother over the last few days and could only find people talking about an 'all stars' house. From what I gather- previous bb stars are going in to a house together across the pond. \nGood luck finding more Brits!\n:)

All accents and dialects are fascinating to me. There are some that really jar, but often that's more down to the character of the speaker than anything else.\n\nAccents from cities tend to be harder, harsher relatives of the surrounding rural accents.  The rural accents are usually softer and more pleasing (to my ear, at least).  So, yes, I love the Irish accents (from all parts of Ireland) but tend to dislike the Dublin and Belfast accents; I like the Scots accents, especially from the Isles, but am not so fond of the Glaswegian accent.  Edinburgh is a special case - I am not sure whether I like or dislike it.\n\nWhen it comes down to it, I don't really object to any accent - I think all should be cherished and encouraged!

I'm not from England, I'm Irish, but I'd say some American accents sound lovely and some sound horrible.  There are lots of different American accents, just as there are lots of English accents, some nice and some not so nice.  I don't really think it's always the accent we like or dislike, it's other features of the person's speech.  For example, I personally can't bear listening to people with a strong nasal tone to their voice and I switch off when someone speaks too loudly.  I've read some research that says accents that feature stronger nasal tones are perceived negatively - in the UK, this is often described as a feature of the Birmingham accent (in the English midlands), the Australian accent, and the accent in some parts of New York and New Jersey (like Chandler Bing's early girlfriend in Friends).  My own accent - Northern Irish - is definitely NOT considered a 'cool' accent, so I'll sit here in my little glass house and make sure I throw no stones ;-)

There lots of different accents in England. The best thing is to live here, that way you you can pick the one you like best.

my ex-wife was amazed that the woman she met from England, -knew english so well. Asked her "where did you learn english so well, - you don't have much of an accent"\n\nGod's honest truth.

Just as Americans love British English, Many Brits love to hear the American dialect because it's different than what they speak. Americans DO have an accent, and it varies by geographical area just like in England. Someone from the Lake District isn't going to sound like someone in London ... just like someone from Boston isn't going to sound like someone from Texas ... \n\nAlso, based on geography, the dialect changed with the influx of new immigrants into the USA after our independance from England. The East coast has alot of mixed European dialects mixed in with "English" and the south has alot of "Spanish/French" mixed in with English. \n\nBut yes, British accents are Hot, and Scottish accents are even hotter ... just look at Ewan Mcgreggor ;)

Teehee. I've always wondered this myself.  I suppose it's because of what we associate with English accents; that is, English people and things and England itself.  For me at least, England is the home of nearly all my favorite writers, actors, artists, etc. Of tea and biscuits, Arthur Dent, and Hornbeam trees. Oxford College. Harry Potter.  It's a place of Kings and Queens and Shakespeare.  My feeble United States-ian mind doesn't bother to separate English fact from English fiction all the time. But come on, what's sexier than Shakespeare?
