English accents?

I am IN LOVE with english accents. Does it annoy you guys when people comment on your accent? what does an american accent sound like to you? Where is the best place to visit in England?
Additional Details
yay. omg. Im so excited just reading that you guys have accents... haha I dont know what it is but I love it. but you guys are confusing me with all these different types. I guess its the same as here though. I live in California and I speak different than people from ...lets say Alabama or... new york... I'm 20 and Im not into partying much. but I really want to see the sights and learn some history and experience the culture... what place do you suggest for that sort of stuff?

I Love the American Accent! (I Love New York)
I Have An English Accent.

I'd say London is the best place to visit and there is alot to do there.
- The London Eye
- Madame Tussads
- Buckingham Palace
- Covent Garden
- Camden Market
- Museams & Loads More!
Or Visit The Country. Both Is Good. Depends What Your Into.

I have a very broad Lancashire accent i'm common and i sound it but i dont care thats who i am.

I'd say the lake disrtict is a good place to visit or chester it's all nice and old i love it there shopping.

we cant help liking the american accent really most of the good tv shows are american,

I'm a Geordie, from Newcastle in the North East of england and when we moved to the North West I had to modify my accent so that people could understand me. Now I have a very slight Geordie accent most of the time but if I talk to another Geordie I become broad again immediately. I love the fact that people here have different accents, some are great and some annoying but they are all wonderfull in there own way! It doesn't annoy me when people comment. I love the american accents I've heard but haven't worked out a way of knowing where people are from by them. I think the best places to visit are in the North, the North East coast then drive across to the Lake District but Scotland is fantastic, so is Wales and Devon and Cornwall!


beautflstranger
london is like new york city...but more amazing.
an american accent sounds like a different english to us.

Doesn't annoy me no, it irritates me when people presume because I'm from England I have an RP English accent I don't I'm from Northern England and sound like I am. I personally don't particularly like the American accent myself although it is diverse and some are nicer than others. The best place to visit in England, London is probably good for sights but for nice places the Lake District is beautiful. I don't think you should ignore Scotland it is a very lovely place and lovely countryside.

I live in england and even I love some of the accents over here.

Either proper strong northern accents, or a real genuine cockney one[:
Nothing in between though. That just sounds plain.

Most of the american accents I hear are on TV so they sound quite smarmy.. but I know thats only because most people on tv are smarmy.. says nothing for every other american lol.

I really laugh when people come over here and expect us to all sound like Jude Law and Hugh Grant. I have never in my life heard anyone with an accent like Hugh Grant.. I'm almost sure he exaggerates it.

True british English is NOT an accent it is the REAL language but local dialect is. if you are american then do not take offense but MOST american accents are SOOOOOOOO annoying and also americans say they speak real english which they DO NOT because it is a cockney version of english, and they speak AMERICAN if they spoke english they would sound like a real english person like me.
i am from newcastle upon tyne UK

LONG LIVE BRITISH ENGLISH AND DIE AMERICAN ACCENTS OR SAY YOU ARE SPEAKING AMERICAN NOT ENGLISH.

AS YOU CAN SEE I HAVE VERY STRONG VIEWS ON THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND THOSE WHO SPEAK IT

I h8 Prajakta.
I lived in the US for 5 yrs. When I came back to India, I had the accent, and people actually laughed! Now my accent is normal, but occasionally I do speak in the uS accent (accidently!)

Did you know that Indians have the clearest accent? Aussies have the worst. (Have you heard Ricky Ponting?)
