England is crazy. You can have really high class places like Devon, and then really crappy places like Hull and Luton. I mean Birmingham is what the third biggest city and its all a big ****hole. But hell Im proud to be British, even if it means we have to live amongst gay chavs


Hey dont diss hull, i live quite near there. You can probably tell by the way i type me writin, me accent kinda cums through sum how. Actually yeah, you can diss hull, i dont liek it. I remember, they tried to build this amazing aquarium not so long ago that would rival aquariums at seaworld and things, but all it is a large glass building with lots of interactive museum exhibits in it, and then 1 real aquarium, with 3 large windoes facing in it, and a 10 foot long tunnel through the bottom of it. Oh also dont forget the 3 foot deep aquarium with loads of crap fish in. Im sure half of em are actually out the river right next door. lol. [lol]

Yeah anyway, i would like to take this chance to tell americans that most English peeps are not actually that posh at all, quite alot are actually quite less posh than americans.

Oh yeha, and e-man, most white american people come from europe as the now american people are not actually native americans. They all descend from european travellers, mostly british people and finish and them kind of people. Anyway you probably all know that but never mind. I thou i would just share the delights of year 10 history with ya! 12 year studying the native american indians, and the white travvelers.

Yea, you guys took my statement the wrong way, it was actually a joke for the exact things you guys pointed out, I should have made that clear though. And Gouldy, that wildest police videos is pathetic, I couldnt agree more. Especially the host, its just pathetic, first time i saw it I thought it was a joke,lol. And JPECool, about the European heritage thing, trust me know. I have relatives living in Finland(if that counts, lol) and some in UK as well, I am part Cornish, Welsch, and Celtic, so you could say I've got some British influence in me.

Im sure alot of you guys from the UK have an accent similar to that which is stereotyped.

Just like I live in NW Ohio, a place where you would least assume an accent from. Personally, I dont hear any on anyone from here nor do I think I have one, yet, people from the south (and north) think we do. On the contrary, theres the people from the south who dont have a huge accent, just a small one and its totally noticable for other people but for them, hardly.


But, nicely said Edge. IMO it seems like England these days is in more ways than not even more "extreme" in fashion/living than alot of America is. From what Ive seen (not in movies, but in real news and such) England looks to make the US look prim and proper.

Well, most people that live in the UK dont actually have the stereotypical "posh" accent that all american people think we do. But i am not denying we have a definate accent. My accent is far from posh, i live near yorkshire and leeds and hull, so Gouldy will be able to imagine what me accent is like probably, lol [lol] Although, me accent isnt quite as bad as one from birmingham!!!! [lol]

Yeah anyway, i don know 1 or 2 people that do speak in "Queens English" which is the accent i think you are talking about. Well actually, queens english means you have no accent, but that is what i think you are talking about. Where you speak every word proper, with no slang, and stuff like that! It amkes you sound kinda stuck up though, lol.
