Oh boy, where to start where to start. Loads of different accents, there are 4(5) separate countries in the British Isles England, Scotland, Wales, Northern and Southern Ireland and they all have multiple accents. On top of this you can have a strong or weak accents of each sort, the weaker ones are the ones people tend to fall for as the strong ones (of all types not just Yorkshire are almost unintelligible), so when you say you like a British accent, which one(s) are you talking about?

Proper Londoner, 'Cockney' (usually) if it sounds common, Queen's English if he sounds posh (usually).

Yes, I'm from Sheffield in Yorkshire but my dad was from Barnsley in Yorkshire (20 miles away) and I can barely understand him!

So it sounds like totally different from what you used to speak or listen?

Yep, there are just so many different sounds to the same words and also little sayings, Geordies for instance nearly always ended a sentence with the word 'man', on the end of it and some Irish people put 'so it is', or 'to be sure' on the end of a sentence and loads of other mannerisms.
