The thread for discussing all the quaint and charming little differences between our two great nations.
First order of business: you guys have it right with the tea thing. Coffee is disgusting. Tea is excellent!
Also, do you Brits find American accents to be as charming as we find yours to be, or are they just really clunky and obnoxious sounding?

LOL I don't belong here. But that won't stop me from commenting like a mentaller. Tea is niiiiice. Tea is not a cigarette. I like some American dialects. Some of them suck a lot. But then again, some British ones are pretty horrible too, innit bruv? I don't know enough about America to specify really, but some southern ones I've heard were pretty damn charming to me. Let's talk about drinking now

Yaaaay drinking.
I got drunk for the very first time just the other weekend, actually. Good ol' Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum. I spent most of the night loudly slurring "I'm NOT drunk." Oh, and then I tried to give my boyfriend a lapdance, which failed miserablely. It was a fun night!

No offence but omfg most southern grate-y accents make me wanna die. Chellsie Memmel's accent as well...ewwwww. I like Alicia Sacramone's though, but I dunno if it's just the way she talks or her accent.

Yeah, southern accents don't do much for me as an American either, although I really do like New Orleans accents.
And yeah, I'm over 14! I'm almost twenty, thank you very much. =P

Oh, c'mon, any of us on the board who claim to be Americans are poseurs. farm1.static.flickr.com/200/484012121_a4b45578f3.jpgSeriously, though, I think the thing we're all overlooking is the third but fantastic option: Canadian accents. They're pretty fantastic, eh?

But Dodgy, you LOVE Canadians.
American accents generally suck except for New Orleans and those really southern, straight-off-the-plantation Scarlett O'Hara drawls like in Charleston or Savannah, with no twang. I like those.
My accent is getting more and more southern all the time, I HATE it. I keep saying ya'll.
Anything UK > Anything US.

No, I used to love Canadians, but then they all went and broke my heart. Oh, Scarlett...will it ever end

Canadians all collectively broke your heart? All of them?
Not very nice of them, eh?

Yeah, true story. Those bastards. I swore I'd never love again. Now I only lust and fawn.
