Both of you understood what I meant. As you also know that usually people use "British" when they actually mean "English".

But if you enjoy keeping a stiff upper lips attitude, that's fine with me.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Bhaalspawn, my son!

---with apologies to Rudyard Kipling

The stiff upper lip is what made this nation what it is today!!

Yes--ridiculous, isn't it? As though there was a single accent for the entire UK! But Americans (of which I'm one) all too often think of England, the UK and Britain as synonymous: hardly the case if you speak to someone who's Welsh, Scottish or Irish, for instance.

You realise you've gone and done soemthing just as silly by switching to United Kingdom, which covers a different area (somewhat) to Britain.

Give me a good Australian accent anyday...personally i find american accents annoying. No offence intended to americans of course.

...And it was deliberate, too.
