    The interior rather the exterior, shallowly in French. But really we should internalize through working will and knowledge.:afro:

    British humor is a bit more highbrow, and they think in drag is funnier than Americans do.

    nah! i hear many different american accents, not that i can tell where that accents from , the only accents i do recognise where its from is as you say the deep southern accents, i can distinguish that it is from the south but thats all, i guess theres loads of subtle differences from each area like we have in the uk. I must admit that the only american that ive heard who can do a proper decent brit accent is johnny depp, but there is probably loads of folk who can do it. I notice on the TV that a lot of brit (especialy cockney) accents done by americans often sound like Dick van dyke (imo).

    Do brits do a good american accent, or does it sound 'off key' to americans?

    A lot of them sound off key, but I think Christian Bale does a good American accent.

    I can tell the difference when I hear a deep southern accent , then I can hear the New York type accent. Otherwise it's all just 'American' to me.

    Nothing 'manly' about it... it's just that tea is better.

    And according to us Brits it solves every problem going. If your house has just burnt down - we have tea, if someone just dies - we have tea, if mad men are coming to kill us - we first have to have a cup of tea.

    Only the Prime Minister has police with guns... us common folk are defended with sticks!

    My drawer and locker at work are mostly filled with various types of tea... I can be such a stereotype!

    He wasn't using an american accent there.

    You can hear it a little here.

    You just have to have Earl Grey in the correct way, with a slice of lemon and in a tea cup with a saucer :D

    I want chips now though...

    It's the same in Scotland... although I think my family overdo the tea thing.. and the tiny sandwiches with the crusts cut off.
