I agree completely. My grandad on my mothers side was the biggest, proudest family man I have ever the priviledge of knowing. Such a stand up guy.

Everybody loves to do Scottish accents. I personally know a few Welshmen and it's very much distinct from your stereotypical English accent. Atleast I think it is... I'm so far down in the U.S people here actually think English accents come from France! :-/

Whhaaaat are you talking about? I live in the same place as you and I've never heard anyone confuse English and French accents.

Maybe it's an epidemic of people my age. Most of my friends are dumb as rocks anyway.

Maybe. Strange.

That does remind me though...why in movies and television do they sometimes give people that are supposed to be French, English accents?
Why does Jean Luc Picard have an English accent?
Why did everyone in Ever After have English accents (and terrible ones at that)?

Why?

Because the English accent is seksi. Although to be truthful it's many studios faults for presuming that you cannot understand a foreign accent which is complete crap. A few British films have been known to have subtitles on their American release

I actually didn't know that. I don't claim to be that cultured or extremely knowledgeably about other countries, but it seems to me you'd have to be pretty damn sheltered to be American and have to use subtitles on a British film.

A few london based films had subtitles. Trainspotting and Gregorys Girl both has subtitles and /or American dubbed voices. The original Mad Max had 2 audio soundtracks on it's U.K release, both the original and an American version which caused a ruckus over here! As if the Aussie accent is that hard to decipher!

I'm 100% sure Susan Boyle had subtitles in America too

, she's a twat though.
