I already have my Safari spell check set to British English because spelling colour and flavour without the 'U' is considered improper and lazy by the British; and I've begun to agree on most political issues with the likes of hardcore liberals like pseudobrit and skunk.

I guess I would have to move to Manchester, England to work on my accent though. :p

Pseudobrit is not actually a genuine Brit, as his name might imply if you deconstruct it carefully.

Er... which abyss is it exactly you're having a peep at? Mine's relegation from the Championship so I'm a little doubtful it's the same one as you're looking into.

Ah. You're right there. Mine is of a slightly more metaphysical nature, I think.

Although, of course, relegation could have its own severe metaphysical ramifications, I suppose. :)

Nonsense! Just do what most of us Americans do when trying to speak with any sort of British accent: try your best to copy Dick Van Dyke's Cockney accent à la Mary Poppins. Nobody that isn't actually British will know the difference!

Yea...the wurzels. They still wear flared jeans with wellies down there don't they. (equivalent to hillbillies to US viewers).

I actually love the way it takes 3 times longer to say anything in the South West its so relaxing.
 
To blend in properly, go to the local golf driving range and try catching some of the player's balls in your mouth (golf balls). The secret to a good British gentleman is managing to have each individual tooth lie along a completely individual plane, at a unique angle. The more unique the permutations, the higher the social standing you may attain. :)
 
What a buncha posers! :p ;) :D

I do it under partial protest because this is where I live now and need to get in the habit of spelling like it. I dug my little yankee heels in long enough. Don't quite get why this is becoming an american trend. Weirdos. :p
 
To be sure to be sure. The Irish accent is much sexier than Geordie, Scouse, Bromie, Cockney or other English accents ;)
