Very interesting and fun. They're mostly too young to have heard my nominee for worst British accent by an American: Kevin Costner in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. WHEN he was doing a British accent, which was about half the time, it were awrful (as some of our British friends might say).

Gee, while we're on the topic, what's with some Brits throwing half the consonants away much of the time?

As in "what's the matter with him?" is delivered as "wha's 'e mah-uh wi' 'im?"

Vive la difference!

Same reason Queensland Aussies can only ask questions.

Shots fired!

They don't call the improv game "Dick Van Dyke" for nothin'.

I tend to agree with Bruce. Costner could almost seem to change accents in one scene.

+1 for Don Cheadle too. What's the deal with Cockney accents? (please tell me you just heard that in Seinfeld's voice)

I love it!

In a few weeks I'm going to take a dialect class and see if I can upgrade mine from "not attempted" to at least "poor, with some chance of identifying a path forward. Sarcastic

Fabulous. When I visited the UK I loved it there...the accents are what makes it!
