well I'm going to throw my hat into the ring.

I'm a Scouser, and a damn proud one at that. I speak with a scouse accent but I am always being accused of talking like a 'posh scouser', which tickles me as there's no such thing!

Could it be that alot of Americans perception of an english accent is muddied by the fact that in TV land whenever they need somebody slightly intelligent (Doctor, Surgeon CSI Pathologist) they drag out an English accent, and all too often a very bad one at that!

All I will add is that if we all spoke the same, it would be a pretty boring old world now wouldn't it?
