You can't win 'em all.
Which, of course, is really French, as we all know...
I dunno how to define a Hertfordshire accent...probably just an upmarket North London 
It's better than Essex though...

Indeed we'd end up playing Gillingham next season. It doesn't get much more metaphysical than that.Although, of course, relegation could have its own severe metaphysical ramifications, I suppose.
Might I suggest to MANCDRIVE that, if a northern accent is what he's looking to acquire, that he perhaps investigates a Yorkshire accent? For some reason, I can imagine a Leeds brogue suiting him...To be sure to be sure. The Irish accent is much sexier than Geordie, Scouse, Bromie, Cockney or other English accents

Ah, the sweetest sound in the world
Why, has he only got one foot?For some reason, I can imagine a Leeds brogue suiting him...
You know full well I mean brogue as in the accent us northerners can't afford shoes, after all.

Good idea I could hop around. I'd use my unshod foot to hop with mind, to save wear on boot leather and all that.Perhaps you could afford one at a time.

And if you could you'd buy horrible clogs...
I'm hardly a hardcore liberal. Whatever that means. I'm in for my share of polluting, meat-eating, religion and I'm an unrepentant capitalist.
I'm also mostly Irish- and German-American, but I've got 1/8 English that just throws the other two into fits.
... How does one set spelling to British?
In OSX, go to the Language pane of System Preferences and edit the list to have British English. Drag it to the top of the list.

Agreed. The only one that comes close to be as sexy as an Irish accent is a good Carolinian one (is there a difference in accent between NC and SC?). There used to be a really hot professor at my school with that accent, but she moved back to NC.
Also, a "New England" accent (I guess Bahstin or Ro' Dylin' would be the best examples) is really an improved "English" accent.
I smell bull****.
I lived in England and even I don't use "British" slang. And I know this isn't exclusive to British people, but Brits say it more often than Americans, Canadians, and Australians, I find --- I say the word "rather" quite often. I also say "quite" rather often.
NBC's Hit Show - Fraiser
Does anyone remember the character - Simon Moon, played by actor Anthony La Paglia on the show Fraiser? Anyway, I really liked his accent; it was perfect. I wish I could talk just like him.
