Floating Chamber Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 What do I think of Americans? They speak English; they are of British origin (mainly); a piece of paper in 1776 declared Independence; but they are still British. I get on with them very well! And they are not as whimpish as us!

sidibear Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 This is a fun one. I moved here from America when I was 12,(now 41) eventually ending up on a council estate in Birmingham. Southern accent in the middle of chav central? I wanted a brummie accent more than anything so I could fit in. Oh yeah, laugh now but I was forever getting into fights because of my accent When I go back to the states my southern accent returns very quickly, like before leaving the airport usually, two weeks back in England and I am a brummie again I have noticed though that in the US with a US accent you get exactly the same service as you do with a British accent. But in the UK with a US accent the service is worse, you tend to be kept waiting longer, food orders take longer and occasionally you get overlooked in favour of a British person. As for being a redneck, hell yeah still now after all this time. Being southern is a state of mind and there is a little bit of redneck in all of you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
