    I feel sorry for you, I'm from the West Midlands, but surprisingly I do not have the accent in the slightest, I basically have the generic British accent.

    What? There are dozens of extremely different and distinguishable American accents, more than in any other country I know of. Not to mention that none of them sound anything like any accent from any other country in the world.
    Or were you being ironic, and I just missed it completely?

    Edit: Well, look at me being stupid. My apologies.

    Don't you be using French in this here thread. We are American's and Brit's, I think we can all agree on the hatred for the French (Disclaimer, is don't actually hate the French)

    Be happy you guys aren't from germany, our english sounds terrible
    German is a waaaaay too "neutral/steril/boring/etc." language (at least the more understandable german), which makes a lot of germans sound terrible when trying to speak other languages. No "feeling" at all... just plain reading words :/

    It's the more PC way of saying 'white people', such as African-American is the more PC way of saying Black people descended from Africa.

    OT:
    I like Scandinavian accents, they seem Nordic and different.

    Correct. I like Swedish female (not exactly eastern), Greek/Italian. Russia is too far east though.

    It's the classic story-telling voice. Probably evokes feelings of childhood nostalgia and and sweeps you away with long lost feelings of fantasy and whimsy.

    Michael Mcintyre is hilarious but being American you probably won't understand British comedy, he is basically making fun of the Yorkshire accent.
