    I give mine a 9, as I've been able to fool most, even some british people.

    I like the accent so much, I pretended to be from Birmingham this year in (appropriately) English class, going so far as to use words like "aeroplane", "defence", "colour", "pram", "lift", "patronise" and "aluminium". She bought it, because when my friends laughed, she said "Hey!" in a "don't be so insensitive" voice, but when I dropped the accent mid-sentence, she didn't even flinch. I was rather disappointed.

    Atari! With me! Baby! Come on! We can do it while I'm playing Atari!

    Amazing!

    300000000/10 simply because I'm British, everyone at college thinks I'm really well spoken. but the best biut is, noone knows where I'm from, is it the north or the south? All they can say is that I'm fucking posh british :) damn right!

    Well, I'm trying to excel with my british accent :), and it's not as difficult as I thought, I think this becomes naturally. I can say I'm pretty good at it. I met some few boys and girls last year from scotland and they told me I have a nice british accent. Sometimes I speak with scottish accent, while other times with some other regional british accent like the one from Liverpool. The same thing told me a guy from Washington once. How is this possible if my native language is spanish? Well... I have no fucking idea! But I'm happy about it!

    I'm pretty good in doing a London accent, but it's still not the real thing, of course. :p

    Up the Albion!

    eh I don't know. My foreign mates used to take take the piss out of my accent hahaha. So I don't realy know how it is perceived.

    The posher accents come from around London like oxford and shit. The farmer accents come from the west country (like me here in somerset, but I don't think I have the stereotypical farmer accent :P).

    I don't like the birmingham accent :x We get loads of holiday peeps from birmingham near where I live and it does my nut. :d

  • Some wierd old man in a supermarket asked my mum where in England she was from.
    But she was born there.

    I'd live in England for how ever long it will take to pick up the accent.
    Apparantly I sound kinda Brittish anyways
    :D
    But I thinkits just coz I'm quite well spoken

    I also love singing/talking along to the bouncer by Klaxons.
    I'm getting better at it

    French accents are ace, so I wouldn't worry too much

  • I dunno When I was in Newcastle I've been already spotted as French god knows how, maybe I had a sign :). More seriously, I'd say I can have a conversation but I'd still have that awful mix between the newcastle accent, and French accent quite scary, I must say

    Bye little lady. Any problem, you call the Gene genie
  • I'm not even english, but when I talk in english, I do this very british accent, not on purpose. Oh and it sometimes mixes up with a bit a scottish and australian accent. It's quite weird actually. And an Alex Turner accent as well.
    I'd rate my accent as 5 or 6... I really dunno well!

    Wait, what?

    Quite excellent I'd say. I'm Swedish but has been studying English since the first grade, now in ninth and I prefer English over my native Swedish. I plan on moving to england in a few years, and has since read a good amount of studies about the English language, people, and culture.
    England is one of my hobbies, simply put n.n

    So yeah, what I speak is fluid British English with a tiny pinch of Swedish accent in it, which I am actively working to exterminate completely.

    I just "caught" a British accent, because now I'm in a International British school.
    And my accent is a mix a british+Aussie :(

  • I've got a good British accent. Being British. No one can guess where I'm from most of the time, since I have a strange, slightly well spoken, slightly lazy accent. They're always shocked when I say I'm Scottish, cause I sound so English apparently. But people always make fun of how I talk. Like when I say talk. I actually say Torque.

    My Accent isn't that good. I don't have any german accent anymore, but in my opinion i don't speak british enough. My teachers at school ask me if i speak a lot of english at home, so i give myself a 7 of 10.

    My family's from Dundee mostly. Though I'm London raised.

  • I'm not that good in accents but I'll rate mine maybe 6/10. But I'm from Sweden and you know what? I think I'm the only one in my class who got an A in english :D

    Well.....

    I would give myself 10/10. I have a hard-to-place middle english accent and i can feign the scottish, welsh and irish accents. i am however very nervous when doing them in front of people from the particular country...i don't want people to think i'm taking the piss....I have also found i have a habit of accidently using the welsh accent when i'm talking to somebody from wales (one of my favourite bands are welsh and i kept using the accent when talking to the lead singer...ooops!) i like using anybody elses accents..life's more fun imitating people.

    Shakespearian british. I would rate it a 9/10. And friend of mine and myself pretended to be British students from Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts when we were drinking on a club last weekend. People really believed it, perhaps they wouldn't have if everybody hadn't been drunk!

    Quite the contrary really. Traditionally the south has been seen as where the money is, where the establishment is, and where royalty etc is.

    The north, especially the north of England, is seen more as the working-class region.

    Its not that clear-cut of course, but in a general sense, many southern accents are regarded as being more 'posh'.

    As for my own British accent, its obviously 10/10 as I'm also British.

    Being Irish can be good though, because many women seem to find the accent attractive. I think its more to do with the fact that its less often heard - its kinda exotic in that sense.
