The British Accent

The British Accent


According to a recent poll conducted by Time Out magazine, the British accent is the most attractive on the planet, says 11,000 people in 24 cities around the world.


I can see why people like the British accent. We're a small island, with a relatively small population in comparison to the influence we have on the world. There's this fascination foreign countries have with us, our music, our fashion and our tea drinking culture. Maybe it's because we're just different, I mean we drive on the opposite side of the road compared to most places. Really we're just a strange place.

British celebrities also create an insane amount of attention from around the world, I'm pretty sure Americans were more exited about the Royal Wedding and Royal baby more than the majority of us were.

 (For just £2 a session I will give you the British accent you've always dreamed of! Speak like Prince Charles in a matter of days!)

 But thinking about it, I'm convinced everyone outside of the UK believes our whole population speaks like the Queen, when this is so far from the truth it's funny. I'd guess 5% of our current population actually speaks eloquently and in the same way as the Queen.

If the Brit lovers were to visit Essex, Liverpool, Yorkshire or any other location where the accents are... fucking annoying, they would definitely be in for a surprise when asking for directions to the nearest "British tea house"
